Year '''6''' ('''[[Roman numerals|VI]]''') was a [[common year starting on Friday]] (link will display the full calendar) of the [[Julian calendar]].
__NOTOC__
==Events==
===By place===
====Roman Empire====
* [[Herod Archelaus]], ethnarch of [[Samaria]], [[Judea]], and [[Idumea]], is deposed and banished to [[Vienne]] in [[Gaul]].
* [[Iudaea Province|Iudaea]] and [[Moesia]] become [[Roman Empire|Roman]] provinces; [[Syria (Roman province)|Syria]] is guarded by legions [[Legio X Fretensis|X ''Fretensis'']], [[Legio III Gallica|III ''Gallica'']], [[Legio VI Ferrata|VI ''Ferrata'']], and [[Legio XII Fulminata|XII ''Fulminata'']].
* Augustus sets up a special treasury, the ''aerarium militare'', to pay bonuses to retiring legion veterans.
* [[Tiberius]] makes [[Carnuntum]] his base of operations against [[Maroboduus]]; The [[Roman legion]] [[Legio XX Valeria Victrix|XX ''Valeria Victrix'']] fights with Tiberius against the [[Marcomanni]].
* The Pannonians, with the Dalmatians and other Illyrian tribes, revolt, only to be overcome by Tiberius after a hard-fought three year long campaign.
* The building of a Roman fort signifies the origin of the city of [[Wiesbaden]].
* Caecina Severus is made governor of Moesia.
* Publius Sulpicius Quirinius becomes Governor of Syria and nominally of Judea.
* [[Quirinius]] conducts a [[census]] in [[Judea]] (according to [[Josephus]]), which results in a revolt in the province, led by [[Judas the Galilean]], and supported by the [[Pharisee]] Zadok. The revolt is repressed, and the rebels are crucified, but it results in the birth of the [[Zealot]] movement, the members of which regard God as their only master.
* Due to a food shortage in [[Rome]], [[Augustus]] doubles the corn rations distributed to the people.
* Due to a catastrophic fire in Rome, the barracks system is created to allow quicker response in the case of emergencies.
* [[Augustus]] banishes [[Agrippa Postumus]], one of his adopted sons, to the island of Planasia.
* [[Marcus Aemilius Lepidus]] and [[Lucius Arruntius]] become Roman consuls.
* Theophilus becomes [[Archon of Athens]]. There are no further records of Archons until after [[23]].
====Africa====
* [[Juba II]] of Maurentia and Numidia marries [[Glaphyra]], a princess from [[Cappadocia]]. The marriage is brief as Glaphyra falls for Herod Archelaus and moves to Judea (This union is partially responsible for Herod's ouster from Judea).
* Following the ousting of [[Orodes III]], Vorones I is appointed by Rome as King of Parthia. Parthian grandees refuse to accept him as king and invite [[Artabanus II]], another member of the Arsacid house, to the throne, precipitating civil war.
====China====
* January — Some Chinese fear for the life of the young, ailing Emperor [[Emperor Ping of Han|Ping Di]] as the planet Mars disappears behind the moon this month.<ref name=wak1>Klingaman, William K., ''The First Century: Emperors, Gods and Everyman'', 1990, p 66</ref>
* [[February 3]] — the boy emperor, [[Emperor Ping of Han|Ping Di]] dies of unexpected causes at age 14; [[Wang Mang]] alone selects the new emperor, the [[Ruzi Ying]], age 2,<ref name=wak1/> starting the ''Jushe'' era of the [[Han Dynasty]].
* Candidates for government office must take civil-service examinations.
* The imperial Liu clan suspect the intentions of [[Wang Mang]] and foment agrarian rebellions during the course of Ruzi Ying's reign. The first of these is led by Liu Chong, Marquess of Ang-Zong (a/k/a Marquis of An-chung), with a small force starting in<ref name=wak1/> May or June.
==Births==
*[[Jesus]], usually considered the latest possible year of birth, based on the [[Quirinius]] [[census]] in that year (historicity questionable).
*[[Nero Caesar]], son of [[Germanicus]] and [[Agrippina the elder]] (d. 30).
*[[Caesonia|Milonia Caesonia]], Roman empress (d. 41).
==Deaths==
*[[Cleopatra Selene (II)]], Egyptian ruler of [[Cyrenaica]] and [[Libya]] (born 40 BC)
*[[Orodes III of Parthia]], briefly Emperor of [[Parthia]]
