According to historian Dr Adam Izdebski from the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland, the Plague of Justinian swept through the Byzantine empire.

The plague is said to have wiped out half of the population of Europe, striking along the coasts of the Mediterranean.

An outbreak on such a devastating scale would have taken a significant toll on the economic and cultural practices of the time.

For instance, Dr Izdebski argued the frequency of harvests would have changed in response to the dwindling population.

Tree logging and forestry would have similarly been impacted, forced to adapt to millions of people dying.
