Abstract / Keywords

The fall of the Arsacid kingdom of Greater Armenia in 428 AD is generally viewed in the context of geopolitical and internal conflicts of the second half of the IV – beginning of the V centuries AD. Meanwhile, the weakening of the Arsacid throne was a result of various factors. In particular, the climatic and environmental changes documented by various palaeoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental studies indicate a comprehensive climatic phenomenon that occurred in the region around 350–450 AD, which has been named “Late Roman mega-drought” in special literature.
