- Iron Age Cold Epoch
The Iron Age Cold Epoch (also referred to as Iron Age climate pessimum or Iron Age neoglaciation) was a period of unusually cold climate in the
North Atlantic region, lasting from about900 BC to about300 BC , with an especially cold wave in450 BC during the expansion of ancient Greece. It was followed by theRoman Age Optimum (200 BC – 300 AD).References
