There is not a 100% agreement on the subject, but the most common theory is that the plague was a strain of Y. Pestis bacteria. It is also believed that the same bacteria was behind the Plague of Justinian. This plague erupted in the year 541 AD and recurred frequently until the year 750. This plague had a major effect in the collapse of the culture and antiquity and the course of history in the early middle ages.
