Just bouncing around ideas here. What if, like the bubonic plague which affected the eastern roman empire of Justinian, the plague hit instead in 125 AD when the roman empire was still a powerful entity?

Obviously the empire would be weakened, but to what point? Will it allow earlier "barbarian invasions"?

I just think it would be cool to see the Roman Empire sudenly collapse while powerful, and see who or what would fill the vaccum.
