Parent Era

This dimension names the broader era that a more specific period sits within. Wikipedia notes that "periodizations can provide a convenient segmentation of time, wherein events within the period might consist of relatively similar characteristics," segments that are often themselves smaller divisions of an even larger period. Browsing this way traces an era back to the parent period that contains it.
