[edit] By place

[edit] Roman Empire

• Consuls are the emperor Claudius and Lucius Vitellius.
• Romans build the Traiectum fortification near the mouth of the Rhine, that will later grow to be the city of Utrecht.
• Pliny the Elder sees military service in Germany.
• Publius Ostorius Scapula becomes governor of Britain, in place of Aulus Plautius. The south-east of the island is now a Roman province, while certain states on the south coast are ruled as a nominally independent client kingdom by Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus, whose seat is probably at Fishbourne near Chichester. Ostorius immediately faces incursions from unconquered areas, which he puts down.
• The Romans conquer the Chauci and fight against the Frisians.
• Claudius revives the censorship and ludi saeculares.
• Claudius organises the order of the Haruspices with 60 members.
• Musselburgh is founded in Britain.
