108 BC: Encyclopedia - Wiman Joseon

Wiman Joseon (194 BC - 108 BC), was a continuation of Gojoseon, beginning with the rule of Wiman. It is generally classified as a part of the Gojoseon period, while some consider it a separate period of ancient Korean history. Wiman was originally a refugee from the Chinese state of Yan. He succeeded in driving out King Jun of Gojoseon and taking over the throne. He made the capital in Wanggeomseong (王險城), today's P'yŏngyang. Although culturally ...

108 BC: Encyclopedia - Catiline

Lucius Sergius Catilina (108 BC?–62 BC), known in English as Catiline, was a Roman politician of the 1st century BC who is best known for the Catiline (or Catilinarian) conspiracy, an attempt to overthrow the Roman Republic, and in particular the power of the aristocratic Senate. One of the most enigmatic figures of Roman history, Catiline has been obscured by the invective of historians. The two chief sources for information on Catiline possessed numerous reasons to depict him in the worst possibl ...

108 BC: Encyclopedia II - Marius - Early career

Marius was born ca. 157 BC in the town of Arpinum in southern Latium. The town had been conquered by the Romans in the late fourth century BC and was given Roman citizenship without voting rights. Only in 188 BC did the town receive full citizenship. Although Plutarch claims that Marius's father was a laborer, this is almost certainly false. The facts that Marius had connections with the nobility in Rome, that he ran for local office in Arpinum and that he had marriage relations with the local nobility in Arpinum all combine to indicate that ...

108 BC: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Wu of Han - Further territorial expansion old age and paranoia

Starting about 113 BC, Emperor Wu appeared to begin to display further signs of abusing his power. He began to incessantly tour the commanderies, initially nearby Chang'an, but later extending to much farther places, worshipping the various gods on the way, perhaps again in the search of immortality. He also had a succession of magicians whom he honored with great things, even, in one case, making one a marquess and marrying a daughter to him. (That magician, after he was exposed to be a fraud, however, was executed.) Emperor Wu's expenditur ...

108 BC: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Jing of Han - The Rebellion of the Seven States

The issue of dealing with powerful princes would soon erupt into a war later known as the Rebellion of the Seven States. Emperor Jing already had an inimical relationship with his cousin-once-removed (the nephew of his grandfather Emperor Gao) Liu Pi (劉濞), the prince of the wealthy Principality of Wu (modern southern Jiangsu, northern Zhejiang, southern Anhui, and northern Jiangxi), which enjoyed, among other natural resources, abundant copper and salt supplies. While Emperor Jing was crown prince, Liu Pi's heir apparent Liu Xian (劉賢 ...

108 BC: Encyclopedia II - Catiline - Life

Catiline - Family background. Catiline was born in 108 BC (or possibly slightly earlier) to a family of declining social and financial fortunes. Although his family was of consular heritage, the last Sergius to be a consul was Gnaeus Sergius Fidenas Coxo in 380 BC. Furthermore, he would later be driven by attempting to restore the political heritage of his family along with its financial state. C ...

108 BC: Encyclopedia II - Samhan - Relations

Until the rise of Goguryeo, the external relations of Samhan were largely limited to the Chinese commanderies located in the northern part of the peninsula. The longest standing of these, the Lelang commandery, appear to have maintained separate diplomatic relations with each individual state rather than with the heads of the confederacies as such. In the beginning, the relationship was tributary: a political trading system in which "tribute" was exchanged for titles or prestige gifts. Official seals identified each tribal leader's au ...

108 BC: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Jing of Han - Middle reign and succession issues

In 153 BC, because Empress Bo did not have a son, Emperor Jing created his oldest son Liu Rong (劉榮) crown prince. This made Liu Rong's mother, Consort Li (栗姬), who was one of Emperor Jing's favorite concubines, extremely arrogant. She also thought she would be created empress, particularly after Empress Bo was deposed in 151 BC, following Grand Empress Dowager Bo's death. She hated Emperor Jing's sister Princess Liu Piao, because Princess Piao had often given her brother beautiful women as concubines, drawing Consort Li's jealousy. When Princess Piao wanted to end this dispute by giving h ...

108 BC: Encyclopedia II - Gojoseon - History

Gojoseon - Dangun Joseon. Gojoseon is said to have been established in 2333 BC, based on the description of the Dongguk Tonggam (1485), but the date differs among historical sources; nevertheless, all of them put it during Yao's reign (traditional dates: 2357 BC-2256 BC). Samguk Yusa says Dangun ascended to the throne in the 50th year of Yao's reign, while Sejong Sillok says the first year and Don ...

108 BC: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Jing of Han - Early reign

Emperor Jing largely continued his father's policy of non-interference with the people and reduction of tax and other burdens. He continued his policy of reducing criminal penalties, and in 156 BC, in reaction to the reality that his father's abolition of corporal punishments of cutting off nose and feet were in fact causing more people to die from whipping, reduced the number of whips that criminals would receive. (He would later reduce the penalty again in 144 BC.) He also continued his father's policy of heqin (marriage treaties) with Xio ...
