The Justinianic Plague Wasn’t as Bad as Many Scholars Think Study Demonstrates Terrible Toll of Sixth Century Plague of Justinian The disease, identified in modern times as caused by Yersinia pestis, the same bacterium responsible for the Black Death, is believed to have entered the Byzantine Empire via Egypt, spreading rapidly through major trade routes.
