Events of the Sixth to Eighth Centuries, 500 to 750 CE

This group gathers events that began between 500 to 750 CE, placed among the events of The Late Antique World. From 500 to 750 CE the Mediterranean world was reshaped by Justinian wars, the reunification of China under the Sui and the Arab conquests. 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.
