Infant mortality -ancient world
#1
Anyone know a good source for infant mortality in the roman empire? I did some checking and found one source that estimated a 30% infant mortality in the city of rome. But this was city only. More checking found an average of 15-20% rate for medieval peasants.

I find it unlikely that the empire a whole has a worse mortality than the medieval period.

Any help is appreciated.
