A severe outbreak of plague, possibly either measles or smallpox, enters the Roman Empire in 251, where it will rage for fifteen years; Hostilian dies of this plague shortly after receiving his title.
The Plague of Cyprian is the name given to this pandemic, probably of smallpox.
It is named after St. Cyprian, an early Christian writer who witnesses and describes the plague, which will cause widespread manpower shortages in agriculture and the Roman army.
