Excerpt from Problems of Infant Mortality
This process was called decima tion by the Romans, and even now, the verb to decimate carries with it the significance of death run riot.
We speak of armies being deci mated by war, of a people being decimated by pestilence, and, under such conditions, remain aghast at the tragedies of human existence.
