Famine, plague and
persecution occurred during and after the 162 AD - 163 AD Jewish Eclipses. The
Tiber River which flows through the city of Rome flooded its banks in the
spring of 162 AD, killing most animals in Rome and destroying much of the city.
A severe Famine resulted. Foxe's Book of Martyrs also states that the greatest
time of persecution in the Roman Empire coincided with the reign of Emperor Marcus
Aurelius and the occurrence of the lunar eclipse in 162 - 163 AD. In 165 AD a
plague broke out which was responsible for killing 1/3 of Europe.
