If a zombie apocalypse happened in ancient rome could humanity survive?

So if a zombie plague swept thru rome in ancient times could humanity survive till da modern day?

Not sure but I'd watch the movie

i dont think so.

@heatforce: good 1

Probably.

Depends on how quickly/if they necrotized and fell to pieces. There were a lot fewer people in the world then, and they were more spread out. I'd see zombies decimating population centers but lots of people on the outskirts being fine, same as plagues in Europe in the ancient world and Middle Ages.

Yes. Farming was more common, so most isolated areas would survive. Plus, everyone owned weapons that were effective against zombies.

The plague would last a week at most.

depends on the nature of zombification

If it is some kind of biological agent then the mode of transmission and the resiliency and persistence of the agent will be the determining factor.

If it has a supernatural/non-natural cause (like alien invasion or time travel terrorists wanting to rewrite the history, or trans-dimensional deities) then the apocalypse will persist until the sources abated or completely stopped from their activities.

Apocalypse would did same thing to humanity like Black Plague pandemic did to europe
