This Day in Ancient History

On this day in 125 BC, the city of Tyre, part of the trading confederation of city states called Phoenicia, created the Tyrian Era by declaring this day one of year one. The use of this Era to determine Phoenician calendars lasted many centuries. Happy New Year Phoenicians, where ever you are.
