In many ways the ‘Little Ice Age’ of the late middle ages was similar to the cold period during the late Classical period and the early middle ages. The weather got colder, crops failed, and a terrible plague wiped out much of the population. Perhaps the difference in outcomes was due to the adaptation of new labor saving technology in the West, something that the Romans, with their slave economy, never tried.
