Confirmed, now, is an eruption in Alaska 43 BC. This confirms a climate downturn in the north around that time.
The media is matching this to the death-throes of the Roman Republic, basically the second season of HBO's Rome. Frankly I'm not seeing it. Bad news in Europe does not always equate to bad news in Egypt, which is fed by Ethiopian mountains far to the south. If anything the Ptolemies should have come out stronger for this. Unless Nubia was gettin' frisky which we know it wasn't.
I'd look elsewhere for my Hot Takes Of Interest. Was there harsh weather in Armenia in the mid 40s BC? in Parthia? Best of all - in the early Han state?
