Did lead intoxication cause the fall of Roman Empire?
I was reading a fascinating article that suggested lead intoxication played a role in the fall of the Roman Empire. Have you heard anything about that theory?
Yes, that theory has been around for a while. The idea is that the widespread use of lead in Roman aqueducts and household goods led to higher levels of lead poisoning among the population, potentially leading to cognitive decline and societal collapse.
