• Mercatus — the Romans continue the shopping spree
• 479 B.C. — the Persian general Mardonius is killed in the Battle of Plataea (source? … seems a little late)
• 36 B.C. — the triumvir Marcus Aemilius Lepidus agrees to retire after losing all his military support to Octavian
• 19 B.C. — another (less likely) date for the death of Virgil
• 130 (129?) A.D.– birth of Galen (still not sure of the ultimate source for this date)
• 259 A.D. — martyrdom of Digna and Emerita at Rome
• 287 A.D. — martyrdom of Maurice and companions
• 1999 — death of Chester Starr

• Mercatus — stocking the cupboards after the ludi Romani
• 490 B.C. — battle of Marathon (yet another reckoning)
• 490 B.C. — the Athenian polemarch Callimachus dies during the Marathon campaign (contingent on the above, obviously)
• 19 B.C. — death of Publius Vergilius Maro (more likely than yesterday)
• 37 A.D. — the emperor Gaius (Caligula) is given the title pater patriae
• 1st century A.D. — martyrdom of Iphigenia
