Founded in 753 BC according to legend, Rome was at that time merely a modest village in Latium, before becoming — five centuries later — the hegemonic power of Italy and then, at the dawn of the common era, the capital of a Mediterranean empire that was constantly expanding while also seeking to integrate the peoples it had conquered.

These 50 dates offer a sweeping panorama of the Roman world across a very long timespan. They trace the compelling chronological narrative of ancient Rome and its empire through significant facts and events ranging from the founding of Rome to the coronation of Charlemagne, from Brennus to the Romano-barbarian kingdoms, from Gaul to the eastern frontiers, from Caesar to Valerian by way of Augustus, and from Spartacus to Boudicca.

What is a "historical date"? In what sense can a moment be described as "historic" in our age, where the term is all too often overused? The question becomes even more complex in the case of Antiquity, where an event that seemed of great importance at the time may appear secondary to us today. Conversely, what was then regarded as a mere episode may now...
