__NOTOC__
==Events==
===By place===
====Roman Empire====
* [[July 18]] — [[Great fire of Rome]]: A fire begins in the merchant area of Rome and soon burns completely out of control, while Emperor [[Nero]] allegedly plays his [[lyre]] and sings as he watches the blaze from a safe distance. There is no hard evidence to support this claim: fires were very common in Rome at the time. The fire destroys close to one-half of the city and it is officially blamed on the [[Christianity|Christians]], a small but growing religious movement. [[Nero]] is accused of being the [[Arson|arsonist]] by popular rumour.
* In Rome, persecution of early [[Christianity|Christians]] begins under [[Roman Emperor]] [[Nero]].
* Nero proposes a new urban planning program based the creation of buildings decorated with ornate porticos, the widening of the streets and the use of open spaces. This plan will not be applied until after his death.
* [[Lyon]] sends a large sum of money to Rome to aid in the reconstruction. However, during the winter of 64–[[65]], Lyon suffers a catastrophic fire itself, and Nero reciprocates by sending money to Lyon.
* [[Phoenicia]] becomes part of [[Syria]].
====Asia====
* The [[Kushan Empire|Kushan]] sack the town of [[Taxila]] (in present-day [[Pakistan]]).
