BBC News - Roman rise and fall 'recorded in trees'

An extensive study of tree growth rings says there could be a link between the rise and fall of past civilisations and sudden shifts in Europe's climate.

That "extensive study" could actually be rather limited and there are issues with the history that it tries to make connections with. The "sudden shift" of the study is a period of 300 years, I'm unaware of a human government that ever had that degree of planning ability.
