Events
Births
- December 25 (traditional date) - Jesus (died about 33) — as assigned by Dionysius Exiguus in his anno Domini era according to most scholars. However, one scholar thinks Dionysius placed the birth of Jesus in year AD 1. These scholars do not themselves place the birth of Jesus in either year. Both years are derived from Dionysius' ambiguous statement that the consulship of Probus Junior was 525 years since the incarnation of Jesus.
Deaths
- Herod the Great, according to some interpretations of Josephus. However, Josephus also mentioned an eclipse just before Herod's death, which Kepler dated to 4 BC.
