You see in 54 AD a 17 year old Boy became the Emperor of Rome. But my UID is 68 not 54, so keep reading. This Emperor is remembered for his perverse mind & his persecution of the Christians. He was also known for reducing taxes.

     While he was in Charge of this great Empire a fire broke out. The city Burned for 9 days. Word on the street was he planned the fire,  1) to blame it on the Christians..2) So he could rebuild the city as a tribute to himself. Word on the street was also that he "Fiddled while Rome Burned". Oh, I forgot...He also had his mother killed while he ruled. I think he charged her with Treason.

     So 17 year old NERO was the Roman Emperor from 54 AD till 68 AD. In 68 AD NERO committed Suicide (with the help from his secretary). He muttered before his death "What an Artist dies in Me".  

And that is what happened in the year of my UID 68.

What happened in AD167? ... Not a lot - at least according to wikipedia. Now I'm going to have to look in other places as well, just for curiosities sake. Thanks for introducing this fun diversion. Really!

The first hand-written English language Bible manuscripts were produced in the 1380's AD by John Wycliffe, an Oxford professor, scholar, and theologian.

The Wampanoag Nation once included all of Southeastern Massachusetts and Eastern Rhode Island, encompassing over 67 distinct tribal communities. The Wampanoag people have undergone a very difficult cultural history after assisting pilgrims in the early 1600s [....]

Around 1380 A.D., the ancestors of the Aquinnah Wampanoag lived in this region. Their favorite foods were shellfish (preferably scallops, caught in scoop nets), and the white-tailed deer, which they killed with bows and arrows. Seals and whales were speared after being stranded on shore. Their fishing equipment was extensive, enabling them to catch quite large fish, notably cod. Waterfowl continued to remain an important part of their diet. These people ate a large variety of both wild and cultivated vegetables. Mortars and pestles were used in food grinding.

The Roman Republic - "Friends, Romans, Countrymen!  Lend me $5 until payday! - was founded.

The Second Temple was completed in Jerusalem.

515 AD

Percians and Horsoe (whoever they were) looted Rhodes.

Arthur "Dux of all the Britons" halted the Anglo-Saxon advances into Briton.

There was a Church Council at Tyre.  (From one of the strangest websites  I've found & that is saying a bunch me buckos!) that rejected the Council of Chalcedon.  The C of C, as we all know, defined Trinitarianism, homoousian, and ousia in such stark and memorial prose that nobody has been able to figure out what the hell they were talking about since.  Anyway, whatever it was, the Council of Tyre didn't like it and started the Monophysite Heresy that lasted until Pope John Paul 2 said it wasn't a heresy after all.  

Which pretty much sums-up the Religious History of Western Civilization.

(H'mmmm.  Apparently it IS a heresy because when I tried to post this the first time BooTrib went pffffttttt.   Ya don't mess with the Council of Chalcedon, I guess.)
