At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Silanus and Antonius (or, less frequently, year 806 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 53 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.
[edit] Events
[edit] By place
[edit] Roman Empire
Roman emperor Claudius removes Agrippa II from the tetrarchy of Chalcis. Decimus Junius Silanus Torquatus and Quintus Haterius Antoninus become Roman consuls. Claudius secures a senatorial decree that gives jurisdiction in financial cases to imperial procurators. This marks a significant strengthening of imperial powers at the expense of the Senate. Nero marries Claudia Octavia. Claudius accepts Nero as his successor, to the detriment of Britannicus, his son by his first wife, Valeria Messalina. Distinct fellowships within the reign of centricles fall to the dominion of Gaulic barbarians, which provoked an enclave uprising in the foothills of what are now the Alps.
