..at any time, your lifespan wasn't enough to experience the whole collapse - only local ups and downs. If you were living in 477, you only had distant stories and chronicles about Pax Romana. The tectonic change was too slow for any particular person to experience.
- quotemstr 9y agoPeople regularly lived to be 70 and 80. Not as many as today, but enough.
- boomboomsubban 9y agoThe Pax Romana ended three hundred years before 477.
- PopsiclePete 9y agoThat's not true about the lifespan. Surviving into your 40's was not as common, but if you made it to 50, you'd make it to 60 or even 70, why not. It wasn't that rare. We live longer on average now because medicine can cure so much in the early stages of our lives.
