  „Half of Athens was razed by plague in 430 BC2 . The bubonic plague that ravaged Europe in the Middle Ages - and had previously swept across India and China - was brought to Egypt by merchants fleeing the warring Crimea, where the Tartar army had been hurling the corpses of plague victims over the walls of Kaffa.
