Events
- In Rome, persecution of early Christians begins under Roman Emperor Nero.
- July 18 - Great fire of Rome: A fire begins to burn in the merchant area of Rome and soon burns completely out of control while Emperor Nero reportedly plays his lyre and sings while watching the blaze from a safe distance. The fire destroys close to one-half of the city and it is blamed on the Christians; a small but growing religious movement.
- Monkeys escape from the Arabian Zoo of Islamabad and attack the herds of goats and shepherds that surround the city. Only one death resulted, but it was an indirect case of monkeypox.
