All Events of the Hellenistic and Roman World, 399 BCE to 200 CE

This group gathers events that began between 399 BCE to 200 CE, placed among the events of The Classical World. The centuries from 399 BCE to 200 CE saw the rise of great empires in China, India and the Mediterranean, and the revolts they provoked. An event belongs here when its cited article gives a start date inside this span. It excludes events that began earlier or later, which sit in the neighboring groups of the same period, and it does not turn on how large or famous an event was.
