Image title
Epidemic of plague in Marseille in 1720-1721. Bringing, it was believed at the time, by a ship from Syria, this flower quickly repanded to Marseille, where soon two thousand corpses were piled up on the esplanade of La Tourette. Knight Roze forcibly employed a hundred galleries to bury the bodies in the cellars of the ancient ramparts. The epidemic spread throughout the region, notably Aix en Provence and Toulon, and disappeared only after several months, killing between 90,000 and 120,000 out of a population of about 400,000. According to recent analyses, this epidemic is in fact a resurgence of the Great Black Plague, which had surpassed Europe in the 14th century. Engraving of L'Histoire Populaire de la France by Lahure, mid-19th century.
