Events

By place

Roman Empire

  • Domitian succeeds his brother Titus as emperor. Domitian was not a soldier like his two predecessors, and his administration was directed towards the reinforcement of a monarchy. By taking the title of Dominus ("lord"), he scandalized the senatorial aristocracy. Romanisation progressed in the provinces, and life in the cities was greatly improved. Many provincials -- Spanish, Gallic, and African -- become Senators.
  • The Arch of Titus is constructed.
  • Pliny the Younger was flamen Divi Augusti (priest in the cult of the Emperor).

Births

  • Archigene, Roman doctor, in Syria.
