Handbook chronology places Plutarch's death about 119–125 CE; this catalog stores that as received dating

Death about 120 is handbook, not a register. Plutarch’s documented role is: He did not file the death year. In the causal graph this event weakens Humanitarian Access, a driver that strengthens People Internally Displaced by Conflict and Violence (IDMC) — an improving welfare path.

Read the full account

Death about 120 is handbook, not a register. Plutarch’s documented role is: He did not file the death year. Later tables did. Stored so chronology stays honest. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear. Later tables did. Stored so chronology stays honest.

Context

Later chronological tables. Named others on the file: Later chronographers. The public setting is the file around 0120-06-01. Driver humanitarian-access is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

Why it matters

Chronology honesty. Welfare reading worsening. Lag to any modern indicator is not treated as zero. This path is attached because the mechanism is named from this act, not because a driver list needed coverage. The welfare reading on this path is worsening.

Naming Plutarch does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 0120-06-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
