罗马温暖期

罗马温暖期是在公元前250年至公元400年，欧洲与北大西洋不同寻常的一段温暖时期。有很多证据表明这一时期的存在，如古罗马人在不列颠引种了葡萄园^[1]。在安纳托利亚的Sagalassos遗址发现了橄榄油压榨，而现在该地的气候是不适宜喜温的橄榄生长的^[2]。

泰奥弗拉斯托斯（公元前371年– 公元前287年）写道：在希腊枣椰树可以种植，但不能结果。这与现在的当地气候一致。其它一些文献片段也证实古希腊在公元前4世纪的气候与现在相当。在帕提农神庙发现的数目年代学证据表明公元前5世纪的当地气候与现代相若^[3]。意大利的公元前第3世纪末期的树轮表明当时处于一个温和气候，所以汉尼拔的军队可以带着大象翻越阿尔卑斯山^[4]。

"Roman Warm Period"这一说法出现于1995年一份博士论文中^[5]。1999年《自然》的一篇文章使得这一概念流行起来^[6]。

证据

冰川：1986年对阿尔卑斯冰川的研究表明公元100年至公元400年，与其前、其后相比是个非常显著的温暖期。^[7]

深海沉积：1999年基于深海沉积物粒度重建的洋流模式表明，罗马温暖期的峰值出现在公元150年^[6]。
