Do ice-core bubbles indicate man-made global warming during Roman times?

In 104 B.C., historical records indicate that the Vulsini Volcano erupted 52 miles North-Northwest of Rome. In 122 B.C., Romans recorded the eruption of Sicily’s Mount Etna, describing “a large eruption which caused heavy lapilli fall in Catania, and the sun was blocked for days.” The Ischia Volcano in Campania, Italy, erupted in 91 B.C..
These are just the volcanic eruptions for Italy and Greece. Volcanic eruptions across the planet show that this was an extremely active time-period. Why the quick history lesson? Because a new study based on carbon-dated methane bubbles found in Greenland ice-core samples would have you believe that the Romans and Chinese were responsible for that time-period’s warm spell. In other words, the warmists are now trying to rewrite history by blaming any previous warming trends as man made.
