Irritates me to no end when I see warming and drought linked together. Warm air holds moisture, cold air cannot. The drought was most likely linked to a cold spell, not a warm one. What is interesting is that this is the time that Rome started to go through troubles with plague, invasion and crop-failure. The cooling / drought could have been global.
