That original "no plague" was before I thought about it, and I didn't mean "absence of plague". I just used that for lack of a better term.

As for "a few weeks", I'd say "a few years". It currently was only ravaging one or two cities, in the center of the Parthian Empire, and not really anyone was leaving or coming to those cities, as the Parthians knew that quarantining helped. I'd say that it might even have been delayed by as much as 5 years, or maybe I was right at the beginning, and the plague wouldn't reach rome at all.
