The First Century was the century that lasted from 1 to 100 according to the Julian calendar. It is often written as the 〔This in violation of the general rule that the abbreviation AD should ''precede'' the date in question.〕 or to distinguish it from the First Century BC (or BCE) which preceded it. The First Century 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 suicide 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, ninth Roman emperor, and founder of the Flavian dynasty. The Roman Empire generally experienced a period of prosperity and dominance in this period and the First Century is remembered as part of the Empire's golden age. The First Century saw the appearance of Christianity, following the ministry, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth in the Roman province of Palestine. China continued to be dominated by the Han Dynasty, despite a fourteen-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. ==Regional Events and Politics== * Northern Europe: Celtic, Germanic, Saami and Finnic tribal chiefdoms * Western Europe: Roman Empire * Central Europe: Roman Empire, Celtic and Germanic tribal chiefdoms * Eastern Europe: Roman Empire, Dacian, Sarmatian, Venedae and Balt tribal chiefdoms * Southern Europe: Roman Empire. * North Africa: Roman Empire, Garamantes, Mauri, Libyan and Gaetulian tribal chiefdoms * West Africa: Gur, Kwa, Soninke and Mande tribal chiefdoms * Central Africa: Bantu tribes, collapsing Nok culture Nok civilization * East Africa: Kingdom of Kush, Kingdom of Blemmyes, Kingdom of Aksum * Southern Africa: Bantu tribes, Khoisan. * Western Asia: Roman and Parthian Empires, Sabaean and Arabian Kingdoms, smaller tribes. * Central Asia: Kushan Empire, Sarmatian, Dahae and other Iranian tribal chiefdoms * South Asia: Kushan Empire, Western Satraps, Satavahana Empire, Dravidian Kingdoms, Kingdom of Kalinga, Indo-Parthian Kingdom, Zhangzhung. * Southeast Asia: Mandala of city-states, Kingdom of Funan * East Asia:Han dynasty China, Yamatai, Xiongnu and Xianbei tribal chiefdoms, Three Kingdoms of Korea (Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla). * North America: * Central America: Mayan, Teotihuacan and Zapotec civilizations. * Caribbean: * South America:Nazca, Moche civilizations, Tairona tribal chiefdoms. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1st century」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
