Does anyone know of or can point me in the right direction of period reported plagues in the Western part of the Empire.

We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

This article looks promising:

http://www.loyno.edu/~history/journal/1996-7/Smith.html

It also has a list of primary sources, which is even better.

Thanks David, most useful starting point. Smile

If anyone has/knows of anything on period reports for the Western half of the Empire it would be appreciated.
