asked, "How did warming starve the Romans?" Before the sac of Rome 411 AD they had a major sicknesses such as smallpox such as the Plague of Cyprian. Rat population always explode in a heatwave. Rats carried smallpox.

This is an account of Alaric sac of Rome 411 AD before and after the sac of Rome. Notice how he was always in need of food. Same with the Romans they where in dire need of food.
He was only in Rome for 3 days. Sacked a couple of towns then with the word of food across the Mediterranean they took off with most of them that died on the trip.
