The baptism of king Tiridates III
Year 301 (CCCI) was a common year starting on Wednesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Postumius and Nepotianus (or, less frequently, year 1054 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 301 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
Events
By place
Roman Empire
- Emperor Diocletian issues his Edict on Maximum Prices, which, rather than halting rampant inflation and stabilizing the economy, over time adds to inflationary pressures, by flooding the economy with new coinage, and by setting price limits too low.
- Diocletian begins the construction of new roads in the Roman Empire. The Strata Diocletiana is built, and lined with a series of forts (quadriburgia); it runs from the Gulf of Aqaba (Arabia) to the Euphrates.
Armenia
- King Tiridates III of Armenia proclaims Christianity as the official state religion, making Armenia the first nation to adopt Christianity as its official religion.[1][2][3][4][5] Construction of the original Etchmiadzin Cathedral by Gregory the Illuminator begins.
Europe
- September 3 – The republic of San Marino is established (traditional date).
Asia
- February 3 – May 30 – Sima Lun briefly usurps the Jin Dynasty.
