Key Events of the 100s
What Happened in Europe?
- Around this time, a writer named Dio Chrysostom mentioned that lions had disappeared from Europe. This means they became extinct in that area.
Roman Empire's Actions
- The Roman Emperor Trajan led a big military campaign (a series of battles) against the Dacians. This happened between the years 101 and 106 AD. The Dacians lived in an area that is now part of modern-day Romania.
- A famous Roman historian named Tacitus wrote an important book called Historiae. It tells the story of the Roman Empire during that period.
