Justinian’s Flea

The book offers a fascinating deep dive into how the plague impacted empire-building and medicine. I wonder what drove the author to highlight this particular event and its wider influence.

The way the book links medieval medicine to modern understanding was eye-opening. I'm curious whether readers with a medical background found it more or less accessible.

The book feels thoroughly researched, but I'm interested in whether the author uncovered new evidence or presented a fresh perspective on this period.
