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.
