c. 400 BCAD c. 250Central America [everyday life]The Late Formative (or pre-Classic) period of Mayan culture takes place in Mexico. By 400 BC, large structures have been built at several sites in the tropical lowland jungle. In the highlands, people begin to put up large clay platforms, some the basis for temples and others for elite houses, flanking open plazas.
c. 200 BCAD c. 200South America [religion]During this period the Nazca Lines are drawn in the desert along the south coast of Peru. These are enormous stylized outlines of animals, including a monkey, whale, spider, and hummingbird, and sets of parallel lines, some as long as 20 km/12 mi. They are believed to be a development of Chavín de Huantar art; they may have had religious significance, or they may have been connected with astronomy.
c. 100–c. 200Central America [town planning]Great building projects are carried out in the pre-Toltec city of Teotihuacán in the Mexican Basin. A great central avenue is laid out, now known as the Street of the Dead. The Temple of the Sun is also completed, dominating the Street of the Dead; at 65 m/216 ft, it is the highest pyramid in Mexico. Another slightly smaller pyramid, to the Moon, is also constructed. Twenty further temples line the avenue.
3 March 161Roman Empire [political events]The Roman emperor Antoninus Pius calls his adopted son and heir Marcus Aurelius to his bedside in Lorium, Etruria, Italy, has his golden statue of Fortune transferred to his adopted son's room, and dies. Marcus Aurelius succeeds Antoninus Pius and, remembering Antoninus' wish, has his fellow adopted son and heir, Lucius Verus, made his full colleague. This sets a precedent for later divisions of the imperial maiestas.
