Timeline of major world events

Prehistory

Iron Age

15th century BC-9th century BC, it is generally attributed to the period wherein the Ancient Istroyan civilization came to power and influence. Alongside the rise of Adonerum in the north of Sarpedon and Levantia, the Ancient Istroyan civilization rose in eastern Sarpedon. These civilizations, which spread hundreds or thousands of city states across Levantia and Sarpedon, are considered to have begun the true rise of a recognizable Occidental civilization.

Year	Date	Event
~1500BC-848		The Ancient Istroyan civilization rises and reaches its golden age, spanning much of the basin of the Sea of Istroya.
~1500BC-570		The Adonerii civilization rises out of Urlazio and reaches its golden age, spanning much of the southern Odoneru Ocean which now bears this civilizaton's name.

Classical Antiquity

9th century BC-5th century AD, it is generally attributed to the period wherein the Ancient Istroyan civilization entered into a general decline and, following a period of turmoil in the Adonerii civilization, its Latinic successors began to rise. Chief among these successors was Great Levantia, which came to span a vast majority of the Levantine continent.

Year	Date	Event
887 BC	January 1st (traditional)	Latin settlers establish Urceopolis in Levantia, one of the furthest flung cities along the Urce river of the Adonerii civilization. The Latin city of Urceopolis almost immediately entered into conflict with the local Celtic tribes, though in time there would be a mutual understanding and coexistence established.
600 BC		The Cognatish are settled in what is modern Pelaxia. This pre-Caphiravian cultural group spoke the Cognatish language from the 7th to the 1st century BCE. Due to their military qualities, as of the 5th century BCE Cognatish soldiers were frequently deployed in battles in Caphiria. Around 4th Century BCE, Caphiria sent Caphirian General Ottiano to conquer Cognatia. General Rusciprio subsequently defeated the Cognatish Ilergetes tribes and conquered Montia. After the Cognaitsh defeat, the valleys were divided into two major provinces, Pelagia Orientis and Pelagia Occidentis.
572 BC		Urceopolis completes its conquest of the Latin cities in Levantia, stretching from up the Urce River to the coast through modern day Faneria, roughly approximating the entire eastern portion of the Adonerii league. Following the destruction of the league two years later, the now-unified cities form the civilization of Great Levantia, which roughly translates to the Great Eastern State. The name had been used - and is used to this day - to refer to the continent known as Levantia.
570 BC		Urlazio is unified into the Latin Kingdom, destroying the Adonerii civilization.
500-300 BC		Great Levantia begins its advance into the Levantine interior, conquering large swaths of modern day Urcea and making client kings out of many to most of the interior Celtic tribes.
197 BC		Cognatish tribes revolted once again in the P. Orientis province of modern Pelaxia. After securing these regions, Caphiria invaded and conquered Albalitoria and Cognatilitoria. The Caphirians fought a long and drawn out campaign for the conquest of Albalitoria. Wars and campaigns in the northwest coast of the Cognatish valleys would continue until 16 BCE, when the final rebellions of the Litorian Wars were defeated.
142 BC		Great Levantia rules over much of modern day Urcea and Dericania, as well as part of the southern United Kingdom. Religious authorities proclaim that Great Levantia now rules over a majority share of the entire world, and conquest ceases for a time. The centuries of conquest had covered over serious issues with the republican constitution and representation of the constituent parts of the Levantine state, and following the cessation of expansion, several decades of instability and unrest begin.
74 BC		The Levantine Social War breaks out, pitting Latinic cities, Celtic tribes, and the central authorities of Great Levantia in Urceopolis in a three way civil war.
56 BC		The Social War ends as the newly elected Pontifex Maximus Gaius Stephanus Pictor leads the central Legions to victory. Pictor began reforms of the state, beginning the so-called Potentate Period of Great Levantia. Pictor's position as Pontifex Maximus began to supersede the consuls in most state authority, and the title of Princeps was soon held by the Pontifex Maximus as well. Following successful implementations of his reforms, Pictor marched north and conquered most of modern day Fiannria.
21 AD		Imperium Vandar Orientalis founded.
35 AD		The first Christian missionaries arrive in Levantia.
64 AD		The first Christian Pope and Bishop of Urceopolis, St. Peter, is crucified upside down in Urceopolis. Within a few years (or perhaps the same year), the Apostle St. Paul is beheaded in Urceopolis.
242 AD		Following more than two hundred years, the Pictorian Dynasty dies out, throwing Great Levantia into chaos. By the end of the year, the Magister militum seized power, ending the Potentate Period and beginning the Dominate, so called due to the title of address of the Magister militum - Lord. While the nominal framework of the state remained the same, the Pontifex Maximus was now appointed directly by the Magister militum. The Dominate would remain until the end of the Levantine state. With the end of hereditary rule, the Dominate ushered in a period of civil wars for control over the state.
269-279 AD		Most historians estimate the population of Great Levantia became majority Christian during this time.
280 AD		Scholarly consensus has indicated the migrations of Gothic people out of Gothica into Great Levantia began around this time.
307 AD		The Christian Levantine General Amadeus Agrippa becomes Magister militum by appointment of his predecessor. Following a short civil war disputing his accession, Agrippa announces the legalization of Christianity in Great Levantia.
310 AD		In exchange for their help during the civil war, Amadeus Agrippa grants formal foederati status to the Caenish people, giving them legal authority over what would become Canaery.
314 AD		Magister militum Amadeus Agrippa deposes the last pagan Pontifex Maximus in Great Levantia, transferring the title and religious authority to the Bishop of Urceopolis while taking the nominal legal authority of Princeps for himself. From this point forward, as a consequence of the separation of the religious authority from political power, the head of Great Levantia is referred to as Emperor, as it was said from that point that he had imperium, or, command, over the State.
407 AD		Sarpedonian tribes cross the Cazuano River into modern Pelaxia, undoing the caphirian control over the region.
409 AD		After three years of depredation and wandering about southern Pelaxia the Losa, Ladri and Klis moved into Pelaxia in September or October 409. Thus began the history of the end of Caphiravian Pelaxia which came in 472. The Losa established a kingdom in Monti in what is today modern Montia and northern East Pelaxia. The Ladri also established a kingdom in the southern part of the region. The Klis established a kingdom in Albalitore – modern northwest coast. The Caphirian attempt under General Petia to dislodge the Septri from Jojoba failed in 422. Caphiria made attempts to restore control in 446 and 458 with partial success.
434 AD		Urceopolis is sacked by a coalition of marauding Caens and Picts. The sack revealed the true extent of the decline of Great Levantia, and Emperors for the next two decades spend considerable resources attempting to rebuild and fortify the city.
484 AD		The Kosal established Agrila as the capital of their kingdom. Successive Kosal kings ruled Agrila as patricians who held imperial commissions to govern in the name of the Caphirian Consul. In 585 the Kosal conquered the Losa Kingdom of Montia, and thus controlled a third of Pelaxia.
