Find some grub? Either youre not on a military base, or you havent figured out where the vending machines are.


I'm not on a military base. We're doing this school on a college campus. Unfortunately, we're the only ones here. No summer term.

Unfortunately, no. Well, there is one runner who makes all our eyes giggle. No one can keep up with her though.

Illyria is turned into a province after a revolt has been defeated.

The Rhine River is established as the boundary between the Latin and German speaking worlds, following the defeat of the Roman army, under the command of Varus, at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest.

Legio II Augusta, XX Valeria Victrix, and XIII Gemina move to Germany to replace Legio XIX and the others destroyed at Teutoburg.

The Catuvellauni attack the Trinovantes and capture Camulodunum.

Ovid is banished to Tomis.

Pannonia (modern-day Hungary) submits to Roman rule.

In order to increase the number of marriages, and ultimately the population, the Lex Papia Poppaea is adopted in Rome. This law prohibits celibacy and childless relationships.

Roman finances become strained following the Danubian insurrection, and Varus' defeat in Germany. This results in the levying of two new taxes: five percent of inheritances, and one percent on sales.

Claudius marries Plautia Urgulanilla following the death of Livia Medullina.

Wang Mang founds the short-lived Xin Dynasty in China (until 25). Wang Mang names his wife Empress Wang (Xin Dynasty) and his son Wang Lin Crown Prince and heir to the throne.

Empress Wang (Ping) is given the title of Duchess Dowager of Ding'an, while Emperor Ruzi of Han, the former Emperor of Han becomes the Duke of Ding'an. Ruzi Ying is placed under house arrest.

Lui Kuai, Marquess of Zuziang attacks the Dukedom of Fuchong under his brother Liu Ying. Lui Kuai is defeated and Killed in the ensuing battle.
