22 BC facts for kids
Year 22 BC was a time long ago, over 2,000 years in the past! It was a year counted using the Julian calendar, which was the main calendar used in the Roman Empire. People back then didn't say "22 BC." Instead, they often named the year after the two most important Roman leaders, called Consuls. So, this year was known as the "Year of the Consulship of Marcellus and Arruntius".
