During the Peloponnesian War Athens was ravaged by a plague that eventually killed almost half of the citizens in Athens and the surrounding areas. The Plague started at the Piraeus, the port of Athens, so it would seem that the plague was brought to Athens from somewhere else. If that is the case, is it possible to have the plague affect the besieging Spartan Army instead of the Athenians?
