The year 10 BC was a time long ago, even before the year we call 0! It was part of the Julian calendar, which was used in the ancient Roman Empire. People at that time knew it as the "Year of the Consulship of Maximus and Antonius." These were two important leaders in Rome.

Important Roman Projects
- A Giant Stone Comes to Rome: A huge stone pillar called the Obelisk of Montecitorio was brought to Rome. It was originally from Egypt and was used as a giant sundial! It helped people tell the time by showing where the sun's shadow fell. Today, you can still see it in a famous square called Piazza Montecitorio.
- Building Bridges: The Romans were great builders. In 10 BC, they built a strong bridge across the Rhine River. This bridge was near a place we now call Bonn in modern-day Germany.
- New Army Camps: The Roman army also started a new military camp (a place where soldiers live and train) in a city now known as Speyer. This helped them control their lands and protect their borders.
