      The period was called the Roman climate optimum and it was about 4C hotter than our current climate optimum. In fact our current optimum is so much colder than all the preceding Holocene optimums most real geologists and climate specialists believe we are just in a warm part of the little ice age and not a true optimum because we still have floating ocean ice in the arctic ocean when in previous optimums it has been mostly ice free.
