| ARTICLES RELATED TO 1 BC | | | |  1 BC: Encyclopedia II - Wang Mang - Early reign: mistakesEarly in his reign, now-Emperor Wang Mang was self-confident and believed that he now had the power to implement his ideals of restoring the legendary golden age of the early Zhou Dynasty. To those ends, he modified the governmental structure in many ways to conform with Zhou standards. He also continued the regime of modifying geographical names to fit with ancient names (or more euphemistic names, as he saw fit) -- so much so that even imperial edicts discussing the locations by their new names were forced to include notes on the old names ...

| | | | | 1 BC: Encyclopedia II - Consort Fu - Domination of her grandson's reign Emperor Cheng died suddenly in 7 BC, and Prince Xin ascended the throne as Emperor Ai. Almost immediately, the issue of the roles of Princess Dowager Fu and Consort Ding (and what honor, if any, to posthumously bestow on Emperor Ai's father Prince Kang) would quickly erupt into a major controversy. Initially, Grand Empress Dowager Wang decreed that Princess Dowager Fu and Consort Ding see him periodically, every 10 days. However, Princess Dowager Fu quickly began to visit her grandson everyday, and she insisted that two things be done: that ...

| | | | | | 1 BC: Encyclopedia II - Infanticide - Explanations for the practice Many historians believe the reason to be primarily economic, with more children born into families than the family is prepared to support. However, this does not explain why infanticide would occur equally among rich and poor, nor why it would be as frequent during decadent periods of the Roman Empire as during earlier, less affluent, periods.
A letter from a Roman citizen to his wife, dating from 1 BC, describes the casual nature with which infanticide was often viewed:
"Know that I am still in Alexandria. [...] I ask an ...

| | | | | | 1 BC: Encyclopedia II - Empress Zhao Feiyan - Early life and life as imperial consort to Emperor Cheng It is not known when Zhao Feiyan was born. According to historical accounts, she was a daughter of two hereditary servants of imperial princes or princesses. Her father's name was Zhao Ling (趙臨). Those accounts also say that when she was born, her parents were so poor that they abandoned her, but they saw that she was still alive after three days, so they took her back in and raised her. When she grew up, she was assigned to the household of Princess Yang'a (陽阿公主), the sister of Emperor Cheng. She became a dancing girl there, and ...

| | | | | 1 BC: Encyclopedia II - Empress Wang Zhengjun - The reemergency of Wang Mang during the reigns of Emperor Ping and Emperor Ruzi and Wang Mang's usurpation of the throne When Emperor Ai died, his male favorite (commonly believed to be homosexual lover) Dong Xian was in command of the armed forces and was the most powerful official in government, and there was great uncertainty what was going to happen next. It was at this time Grand Empress Dowager Wang would play the most crucial role in her life. She decided to immediately proceed to the imperial palace and seize the imperial seal and summon Dong. Her move caught Dong by surprise, and he was paralyzed and unable to act. Grand Empress Dowager Wang summoned ...

| | | | | 1 BC: Encyclopedia II - Herod the Great - Date of Herod's death Some chronologers hold that he died in the year 5 or 4 BC. Their chronology is based to a large extent on Josephus’ history. In dating the time that Herod was appointed king by Rome, Josephus uses a "consular dating" whereby Josephus locates the event as occurring during the rule of certain Roman consuls (Onischuk note-Consular Dating was highly variable and therefore inaccurate - see Julian Calendar and Anno Domini). According to this, Herod's appointment as king would be in 40 BC, but the data of another published Roman historian, [[Appi ...

Emperor Ai of Han - Early reign -- optimism.
Emperor Ai, aged 20 at his ascension, quickly ended Emperor Cheng's practice of delegating imperial authorities to his uncles and cousins of the Wang clan and appeared diligent in his rule. He also reduced spending greatly. Both the officials and the people thought that after the reigns of the indecisive Emperor Yuan and the impulsive and lavish spending Emperor ...

| | | | | | 1 BC: Encyclopedia II - Empress Wang Ping - Young widowhood and temporary status as empress dowager Circa 5, Emperor Ping, having grown older, appeared to have grown out of a heart condition that he suffered earlier, and it became fairly plain that he resented Wang Mang for slaughtering his uncles in 3 and not allowing his mother to visit him in the capital Chang'an. Wang Mang therefore resolved to murder the emperor. In winter 5, Wang Mang submitted pepper wine (considered in those days to be capable of chasing away evil spirits) to the 13-year-old emperor, but had the wine spiked with poison. As the emperor was suffering the effects of t ...

| | | | | 1 BC: Encyclopedia II - Board game - Luck, strategy and diplomacy One way of defining board games are between those based upon luck and strategy. Some games, such as chess, have no luck involved. Children's games tend to be very luck based with games such as Sorry! having virtually no decisions to be made. Most board games have both luck and strategy. A player may be hampered by a few poor rolls of the dice in Risk or Monopoly, but over many games a player with a superior strategy will win more often. While some purists consider luck to not be a desirable component of a game, others counter that elements o ...

| | | | | 1 BC: Encyclopedia II - Roman Emperor Principate - Severan Dynasty The short-lived Severan dynasty came into the purple primarily not by vote of the Senate like the Julio-Claudii but rather by the point of the sword like the Flavii. The founder of the dynasty, Lucius Septimius Severus, was descended from a provincial family from North Africa and is reputed to have kept his African accent until his death. To help bolster his hold on power, Septimius Severus identified himself with the cause of the late Pertinax (and incorporated this into his name), and was called by some "the Punic Sulla", a slur simultaneo ...

| | | | | 1 BC: Encyclopedia II - Roman Emperor Principate - From Domitian to Severus In March 193, the Imperial dignity was quite literally and quite openly auctioned off by the mutinous Praetorian Guard, with Titus Flavius Sulpicianus (father-in-law of the slain Emperor) and Marcus Didius Julianus bidding for the Guard's support for the purple.
Pertinax ("Imp. Caesar P. Helvius Pertinax Aug."; b. P. Helvius Pertinax), 193
Didius Julianus ("Imp. Caesar M. Didius Severus Iulianus Aug."; b. M. Didius Iulianus), 193

| | | | | 1 BC: Encyclopedia II - Roman Emperor Principate - Nervan-Antonine Dynasty The Nervan-Antonine dynasty was a largely artificial one, chiefly built out more of adoption than blood relations, as in the Julio-Claudian or Flavian dynasties (the first Emperor of this dynasty was an elderly, childless man, from the noble Cocceii Nervae). The Nervan-Antonine dynasty produced the famous "Five Good Emperors", and the first non-Italian Roman Emperors, the Spaniards Trajanus and Hadrianus. The Nervan-Antonine dynasty also marks the first time that an Emperor was depicted with a beard (Emperor Hadrianus), and one of the first ...

| | | | | 1 BC: Encyclopedia II - Roman Emperor Principate - Year of the Four Emperors The year 69 is often called the "Year of the Four Emperors" because it saw four usurpers successively claim the purple. The fourth Emperor is listed in the next section due to dynastic considerations.
Galba ("Ser. Galba Imp. Caesar Aug."; b. Ser. Sulpicius Galba), 68 – 69
Otho ("Imp. M. Otho Caesar Aug."; b. M. Salvius Otho), 69
Vitellius ("A. Vitellius Germ. Imp. Aug."; b. A. Vitellius), 69
Nero committed suicide on June 9, 68, to escape rebellious soldiers loyal to the disloyal Galba, g ...

| | | | | 1 BC: Encyclopedia II - Tiberius - Continuing legacy In the Bible, Tiberius is mentioned by name only once, in Luke 3:1 (stating that John the Baptist entered on his public ministry in the fifteenth year of his reign). However, since it was during his reign that Jesus preached, many references to Caesar (or the emperor in some other translations), without further specification, actually refer to Tiberius. It was during the reign of Tiberius that Jesus was put to death by crucifixion under the authority of the Roman governor of Judea at the time, Pontius Pilate.
The town Tiberias on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee wa ...

| | | | | 1 BC: Encyclopedia II - Tiberius - Final Years The Sejanus affair appears to have greatly depressed Tiberius. A close friend and confidant had betrayed him. His withdrawal from public life seemed more complete in the last years. Letters kept him in touch with Rome, but it was the machinery of the Augustus’s administration that kept the Empire running smoothly. According to writers such as Suetonius, Tiberius spent much of his time indulging his perversities on Capri. He also became all but paranoid in his dealings with others and spent long hours brooding over the death of his son, Dru ...

| | | | | | 1 BC: Encyclopedia II - Empress Zhao Feiyan - As empress After Feiyan was created empress, she began to lose favor from Emperor Cheng, while her sister Hede received the nearly exclusive affection of Emperor Cheng. While the sisters initially were jealous of each other, they later reconciled, and continued to dominate the palace together. However, neither of them would produce any children who could serve as imperial heir -- something greatly troubling to Emperor Cheng (whose earlier favorites Empress Xu and Consort Ban were also childless, and no other consort of whom was known to have had childr ...

| | | | | 1 BC: Encyclopedia II - Empress Wang Zhengjun - Role during Emperor Ai's reign When Emperor Ai ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Wang received the title that she is later most known for -- Grand Empress Dowager Wang. Initially, out of respect for her, Emperor Ai, while consolidating his own power base, left the Wangs, including Wang Mang, largely in the posts that they had been in.
However, the influences of Emperor Ai's grandmother Consort Fu would soon be shown. Consort Fu was not content with her title of Princess Dowager of Dingtao; rather, she also wanted to be empress dowager. Grand Empress Dowager Wang ...
