The 1st century BC, also known as the last century BC, started on the first day of 100 BC and ended on the last day of 1 BC. The AD/BC notation does not use a year zero; however, astronomical year numbering does use a minus sign, so "2 BC" is equal to "year -1". This is the 99th century in the Holocene calendar; it spans the years 9,901 to 10,000. 1st century AD (Anno Domini) follows.
In the course of the century all the remaining independent lands surrounding the Mediterranean were steadily brought under Roman control, being ruled either directly under governors or through puppet kings appointed by Rome. The Roman state itself was plunged into civil war several times, finally resulting in the marginalization of its 500 year old republic, and the embodiment of total state power in a single man—the emperor.
The internal turbulence that plagued Rome at this time can be seen as the last death throes of the Roman Republic, as it finally gave way to the autocratic ambitions of powerful men like Julius Caesar, Mark Antony and Octavian. Octavian's ascension to total power as the emperor Augustus is considered to mark the point in history where the Roman Republic ends and the Roman Empire begins. Some scholars refer to this event as the Roman Revolution. It is believed that the birth of Jesus, the central figure of Christianity took place at the close of this century.

The 1st century was the century that lasted from 1 to 100 according the Julian calendar. It is considered part of the Classical era, epoch, or historical period.
During this period Europe, North Africa and the Near East fell under increasing domination by the Roman Empire, which continued expanding, most notably conquering Britain under the emperor Claudius (43). The reforms introduced by Augustus during his long reign stabilized the empire after the turmoil of the previous century's civil wars. Later in the century the Julio-Claudian dynasty, which had been founded by Augustus came to an end with the death of Nero in 68. There followed the famous Year of Four Emperors, a brief period of civil war and instability, which was finally brought to an end by Vespasian, 9th Roman emperor, and founder of the Flavian dynasty.
China continued to be dominated by the Han Dynasty, despite a 14-year interruption by the Xin dynasty under Wang Mang. Han rule was restored in 23; Wang Mang's rule represents the watershed between the Western/Former Han and the Eastern/Later Han. The capital was also moved from Chang'an to Luoyang.

The Colossus of Rhodes was a statue of the Greek titan-god of the sun Helios, erected in the city of Rhodes by Charles of Lindos in 280. It is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Lighthouse of Alexandria was a tower built by the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 280 and 247.

Islamic conquest of Persia
Islamic conquest of PersiaIslamic conquest of Persia
Since the 1st century BC, the Romans and Parthians had waged a number of wars that lasted for the centuries. In fact these military campaigns outlasted the empires themselves. Both the Roman and Parthian Empires reformed and were replaced by the Byzantine and Sassanid Empires, respectively. These two new superpowers continued their territorial disputes and military confrontations for centuries. But the Sassanids and Byzantines also had various proxy wars, in which they attempted to start rebellions in the opponent's holdings. One example of this was the Byzantine client state the Ghassanids and the Sassanid client state the Lakhmids. These cl

Eratosthenes was a Greek mathematician, geographer and astronomer who lived between 276 and 195. Along with inventing the discipline of geography, he is best known for being the first person to calculate the circumference of the Earth with remarkable accuracy.
Ashoka Maurya, commonly known as Ashoka the Great, was an Indian emperor who ruled almost all of the Indian subcontinent between 269 and 232. Beginning about 263 he gradually converted to Buddhism and was later dedicated to the propagation of Buddhism across Asia.
The First Punic War was fought between 264 and 241 and was the first of three wars fought between Ancient Carthage and the Roman Republic. For more than 20 years the two powers struggled for supremacy in the western Mediterranean Sea.
In the year 256 during the Warring States period of China the Dujiangyan irrigation system was constructed by Li Bing. Located in the Min River, it is still in use today to irrigate over 5,000 square kilometers of land in the region.
The Second Punic War lasted between 218 and 201 and involved combatants in the western and eastern Mediterranean. The war was mostly initiated by Rome, but is marked by Hannibal’s surprising overland journey and his costly crossing of the Alps. The Battle of Zama in North Africa was the final showdown between the Romans under Scipio Africanus and the Carthaginians under Hannibal – it was a rousing victory for Rome.

The Battle of Marathon took place in 490 during the first Persian invasion of Greece. The battle was the culmination of the first attempt by Persia, under King Darius I, to subjugate Greece. The Greek army decisively defeated the more numerous Persians, marking a turning point in the Greco-Persian Wars.
The Grand Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the longest canal or artificial river in the world at 1,794 kilometers and a famous tourist destination. Emperor Wen of Sui launched the program and work began in 486 – within three years the canal connected the Yangtze River to the Huai River. (Wen of Sway) (Hu-why River)
The Battle of Thermopylae was fought between alliances of Greek city-states, led by King Leonidas of Sparta, and the Persian Empire ruled by Xerxes I over the course of three days in the year 480. Although the Greeks were defeated, this battle is considered by ancient and modern writers as a symbol of courage against overwhelming odds.
The Histories of Herodotus is now considered as the founding work of history in Western literature. Written from the 450s to the 420s, it serves as a record of the ancient traditions, politics, geography, and clashes of various cultures that were known in Western Asia, North Africa and Greece at that time.
The Parthenon is a former temple on the Athenian Acropolis and dedicated to the goddess Athena. Construction began in 447 when the Athenian Empire was at the height of its power. It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered the zenith of the Doric order.
The Statue of Zeus at Olympia was a giant seated figure, about 13 meters tall, made by the Greek sculptor Phidias around 435. It was regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World until its eventual destruction during the 5th century AD.
The Peloponnesian War was an ancient Greek war that began in 431 by Athens and its empire against the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. The destruction of the Athenian fleet effectively ended the war with Athens surrendering in 404.

Since the 1st century BC, the Romans and Parthians had waged a number of wars that lasted for the centuries. In fact these military campaigns outlasted the empires themselves. Both the Roman and Parthian Empires reformed and were replaced by the Byzantine and Sassanid Empires, respectively. These two new superpowers continued their territorial disputes and military confrontations for centuries. But the Sassanids and Byzantines also had various proxy wars, in which they attempted to start rebellions in the opponent's holdings. One example of this was the Byzantine client state the Ghassanids and the Sassanid client state the Lakhmids. These client states served as a buffer zone against the Southern Arab raiders. And both these client states were Arab in origin, but the Ghassanids were Christian Arabs whereas the Lakhmids aimed to unite all the Arabs under one kingdom. In fact the last independent ruler of the Lakhmids, Imru' al-Qais, claimed the title of "King of all the Arabs." This vision of Arab unity would not be realized for centuries, until the rise of Islam and the consolidation of the Rashidun Caliphate, in 632. Once the caliphate was established the Lakhmids were quick to join their Arab brethren. But this made the Sassanids very anxious, as they had lost their buffer zone and client state. And so the Sassanid rulers decided to stir up rebellions in the region. These provocations lead to the declaration of a Jihad against the Sassanid Persian Empire by Caliph Umar. At the time this seemed like an ant declaring war against a lion. That is how the Persians mistakenly perceived it.
