Essentially most characters would only need to know things between 50CE through to the current time.
AeRo is mostly AU after Caligula. However, the births of a few important dates were put in place to assist in working out ages, etc.
Claudius' first son, Gaius, is born. He is given the name Gaius Claudius Sabucius, though he later becomes Gaius Claudius Caesar..
Claudius' daughter, Claudia Livia, is born.
Gaius Caesar - otherwise known as Caligula - celebrates the birth of his daughter by Milonia Caesonia. She is given the name Julia Drusilla.
Drusus Claudius Sabucius - a relative to Caligula - is named Caesar by the Praetorian Guard and Senate and People of Rome.
A large Germani raiding party is defeated by Cnaeus Flavius Alexander. The German leader, Alaric, is captured and later brought to Rome. Cnaeus is awarded the name ‘Germanicus’ by Claudius – a rare award for a man outside of the imperial family. This marks Cnaeus as favored by the Caesars and in turn increases the popularity and influence of his family. His legions become some of the most desirable to serve in by noble Roman youths.
Because of his close friendship to Herod, King of the Jews, Claudius reverses his predecessors harsh ban against Jewish religious worship, restoring religious freedom to Jews across the empire. His decision is met with some criticism from more traditional Romans who see the Jewish worship of one god as barbaric.
Lucius Arruntius Camillus, a legate in Dalmatia and supporter of Claudius' enemies, revolts against the new Caesar. Arruntius is thwarted by legatus Marcus Junius Silanus, whose younger brother Decimus is serving as a tribune at the time. Arruntius flees and commits suicide, with Silanus' legions renamed 'Claudia Pia'.
Camilius Julius Fidelis, son of Sextus Fidelis - the previous year's consul - is appointed proprietor of Gallia Belgica where he serves under Cnaeus Flavius Alexander Germanicus. This marks the beginning of Camilius’ rise.
Continuing Caligula’s plans, Claudius pushes through the constructing of a new deep-water harbor in Ostia (Rome’s port city), allowing for a new and unprecedented level of trade ships to dock outside of Ostia with relative safety from the choppy waters of the Mare Nostrum.
