1910 – 'Robert Falcon Scott's South Pole expedition leaves England'. Erm, no it doesn't
Unless someone has moved Cardiff to England since I last checked, the starting place of the expedition is incorrect. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_Nova_Expedition#First_season.2C_1910.E2.80.9311 The ship sailed from Cardiff, Wales not England. So, it should either be 'sailed from Cardiff, Wales' or 'sailed from the United Kingdom'. Any preferences?

Error re Scott leaving Cardiff?
While it says here "1910 – Robert Falcon Scott's second South Pole expedition leaves Cardiff" - the article on the expedition (Terra Nova Expedition) states that "Terra Nova sailed from Cardiff, Wales, on 15 June 1910".

Avranches

Avranches (Avraunches) is a commune in the Manche department, and the region of Normandy, northwestern France. It is a subprefecture of the department. The inhabitants are called Avranchinais.

Middle Ages
By the end of the Roman period, the settlement of Ingena, capital of the Abrincatui tribe, had taken the name of the tribe itself. This was the origin of the name Avranches. In 511 the town became the seat of a diocese (suppressed in 1790) and subsequently of a major Romanesque cathedral dedicated to Saint Andrew, Avranches Cathedral, which was dismantled during the French revolutionary period. As the region of Brittany emerged from the Roman region of Armorica, Avranchin was briefly held by Alan I, King of Brittany as part of the Kingdom of Brittany at the turn of the 10th century. The regions that later became the Duchies of Normandy and Brittany each experienced devastating Viking raids, with Brittany occupied by Vikings from 907 to 937. In 933 Avranches and its territory, the Avranchin, were ceded to the Normans.

Hugh d'Avranches, 1st Earl of Chester, a magnate under William the Conqueror, was the son of Richard le Goz, Vicomte d'Avranches.

In 1172 (September 27–28) a council was held at Avranches in response to the murder of Anglo-Norman Saint Thomas Becket. Henry II, King of England, after due penance done at Avranches on 21 May 1172, was absolved from the censures incurred by the assassination of the holy prelate and reached the Compromise of Avranches with the Church, swearing fidelity to Pope Alexander III in the person of the papal legate.

The same council was forbidden to confer on children benefice, carrying with it the cure of souls, or on the children of priests for the churches of their fathers. Each parish was required to have an assistant (vicarius), and the Advent fast was commended to all who could observe it, especially to ecclesiastics.

The town was damaged in both the Hundred Years' War and the Wars of Religion.

Álvaro Vaz de Almada was made 1st Count of Avranches by King Henry VI of England on August 8, 1444.

Modern era
The town lost some influence after the French Revolution during which the diocese was abolished, the bailif was removed and primary and secondary schools were closed. The town was also occupied and raided by troops both pro-republican and anti-revolutionary (Chouans). However, in 1802 the Avranches diocese was restored as part of the Diocese of Coutances.

Many English families settled here after the Treaty of Paris (1814).

A literary description of the town in the 19th century is recorded in Guy de Maupassant's novel Notre Cœur, when the main character Mariolle meets his lover and sets out for Mont Saint-Michel:

''The houses crowning the heights gave to the place from a distance the appearance of a fortification. Seen close at hand, it was an ancient and pretty Norman city, with small dwellings of regular and almost similar appearance built closely adjoining one another, giving an aspect of ancient pride and modern comfort, a feudal yet peasant-like air.''

The liberation of Avranches during World War II was led by General George S. Patton and began on 31 July 1944.

On 1 January 2019, the former commune Saint-Martin-des-Champs was merged into Avranches.

Geography
Avranches is situated at the southern end of the Cotentin Peninsula on the E40 road connecting Saint-Lô with Brittany and on the rail line between Lison (linking to Caen) and Dol (linking to Rennes).

The town was founded on high ground overlooking the dunes and coastal marshes along the bay forming the corner between the peninsulas of the Cotentin and Brittany. From Avranches, it is possible to see the Mont Saint-Michel, which was founded by Saint Aubert, Bishop of Avranches in the 8th century.

Sights
A museum, Le Scriptorial, houses the collection of manuscripts of Mont Saint-Michel, deposited in the municipal archives during the French Revolution. It is one of the largest collections of medieval illuminated manuscripts in France, outside national and university libraries.

Formerly dominated by the cathedral, where Henry II did penance, an open grassed area La Plate-Forme overlooking the bay towards Mont Saint-Michel displays only a few remnants of the destroyed building.

The major church Notre Dame des Champs (Avranches) was constructed in Gothic Revival style in the 19th century to restore the religious life of the town after the destruction of the cathedral. The basilica church of Saint Gervais houses a treasury, best known for the purported skull of Saint Aubert complete with hole where the archangel Michael's finger pierced it (probably a prehistoric trepanned skull).

The botanical gardens were founded in the grounds of the former Franciscan convent in the late 18th century. The expansion and introduction of exotic species in the 19th century and the location of the gardens overlooking the bay made the gardens an important sight in the town.

The Manoir de Brion, an ancient Benedictine priory of Mont Saint-Michel, is located in Dragey.

Avranches is twinned with St. Helier in Jersey. On 2 March 2010 a Jersey-registered boat "Archangel" succeeded in reaching Avranches at Marcey-les-Grèves. It is believed this was the first instance of a foreign vessel reaching Avranches in modern times.

Sport
US Avranches is based in the commune.

Twin towns

 * 🇫🇷 Saint-Gaudens, France, since the autumn of 1944, when the town of Saint-Gaudens, Haute-Garonne fraternally assisted Avranches by giving clothing and food to it
 * 🇩🇪 Korbach, Germany, since 1963
 * Saint Helier, Jersey, since 1982
 * Crediton, United Kingdom, since 1993

Births
Avranches was the birthplace of:
 * General Jean-Marie Valhubert (1764–1805)
 * Paul-Armand Challemel-Lacour (1827–1896), statesman
 * Jean-Luc Ponty (born 1942), violinist and jazz composer
 * Samuel Le Bihan (born 1965), a movie actor.
 * Hamon de Massey, Norman lord in the barony of Chester.

Charles de Gaulle
I can find no reference Charles de Gaulle becoming Prime Minister on June 3 1944 (excepting copies of this Wikipedia article). It seems rather unlikely, three days before D-day and with the Vichy government still effectively in power. There is a reference to him becoming Prime Minister designate on June 1 1958 (he may have been confirmed a few days later). If anyone has genuine references for this it would be good to see them; otherwise it's a little embarrassing to have something wrong on our front page. DJ Clayworth 19:45, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Instead of the D-Day link going to the term D-Day, shouldn't it go the Battle of Normandy page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.101.126.231 (talk • contribs)

 * I think the current listing, since it starts with the Battle of Normandy and also links Operation Overlord to the battle of Normandy is right. The linking of D-Day to the generic D-Day page, which has at its top the pointer to the Battle of Normandy and in its text points out that the Battle of Normandy is a well known use of the generic D-Day H-Hour military coding, allows people to understand that the Normandy landings were just one use of the designator D-Day rather than its only use. --BotleyBoy 14:09, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Reminding The FAKE Birthday
Excuse me! Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to remind you all that; Tsunesaburō Makiguchi real birthday was on 23 July 1871, NOT 6 June, and also Nichiren real birthday was on 16 February 1222, NOT 6 April! So we hope that everybody NOT to citation the fake of dates, otherwise, you will get error confusion! Thank you and have a nice day...

不好意思! 女士及先生们, 我想要提醒你们大家的那就是; 牧口常三郎真正的生日是在1871年7月23日, 不是什么6月6日, 还有大日莲真正的生日是在1222年2月16日, 不是什么4月6日! 所以我们希望大家别引用那个假的日期, 否则, 你将会得到错误的困惑! 谢谢及祝你们日子愉快...

Winthrop Fleet

The Winthrop Fleet was a group of 11 ships led by John Winthrop out of a total of 16 funded by the Massachusetts Bay Company which together carried between 700 and 1,000 Puritans plus livestock and provisions from England to New England over the summer of 1630, during the first period of the Great Migration.

Motivation
The Puritan population in England had been growing for several years leading up to this time. They disagreed with the practices of the Church of England, whose rituals they viewed as superstitions. An associated political movement attempted to modify religious practice in England to conform to their views, and King James I wished to suppress this growing movement. Nevertheless, the Puritans eventually gained a majority in Parliament. James' son Charles came into direct conflict with Parliament, and viewed them as a threat to his authority. He temporarily dissolved Parliament in 1626, and again the next year, before dissolving it permanently in March 1629. The King's imposition of Personal Rule gave many Puritans a sense of hopelessness regarding their future in that country, and many prepared to leave it permanently for life in New England, and a wealthy group of leaders obtained a royal charter in March 1629 for the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

A fleet of five ships had departed a month previously for New England that included approximately 300 colonists led by Francis Higginson. However, the colony leaders and the bulk of the colonists remained in England for the time being to plan more thoroughly for the success of the new colony. In October 1629, the group who remained in England elected John Winthrop to be Governor of the Fleet and the Colony. Over the ensuing winter, the leaders recruited a large group of Puritan families, representing all manner of skilled labor to ensure a robust colony.

Voyage
The initial group (Arbella and her three escorts) departed Yarmouth, Isle of Wight on April 8, the remainder following in two or three weeks. Seven hundred men, women, and children were distributed among the ships of the fleet. The voyage was rather uneventful, the direction and speed of the wind being the main topic in Winthrop's journal, as it affected how much progress was made each day. There were a few days of severe weather, and every day was cold. The children were cold and bored, and there is a description of a game played with a rope that helped with both problems. Many were sick during the voyage.

The Winthrop Fleet was a well-planned and financed expedition that formed the nucleus of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. They were not the first settlers of the area; there was an existing settlement at Salem, started in about 1626 and populated by a few hundred Puritans governed by John Endicott, who had arrived in 1629 and seized control from Roger Conant. Winthrop superseded Endicott as Governor of the Colony upon his arrival in 1630. The flow of Puritans to New England continued for another ten years, during a period known as the Great Migration.

Ships
Winthrop's journal lists the 11 ships in his fleet:

 * Arbella: The flagship, designated "Admiral" in the consortship; named for Lady Arbella, wife of Isaac Johnson (see below)
 * Talbot: Designated "Vice Admiral"; Henry Winthrop sailed on this ship, John Winthrop's son and first husband of Elizabeth Fones
 * Ambrose: Designated "Rear Admiral"
 * Jewel: Designated "Captain"
 * Mayflower (not the Mayflower of the Pilgrims)
 * Whale
 * Success
 * Charles
 * William and Francis
 * Hopewell
 * Trial

Six other ships arrived at Massachusetts Bay in 1630 for a total of seventeen that year.

Notable passengers
Nine leading men applied for the charter for the Massachusetts Bay Colony and came to New England in Winthrop's Fleet.

Ezekiel Richardson, Converse and Mousall were some of the original founders of Woburn ( from Charlestown). Other passengers of historical significance include:
 * John Winthrop, Governor, and his sons Henry Winthrop and two minors
 * Sir Richard Saltonstall, three sons, and two daughters
 * Isaac Johnson and his wife Lady Arbella, daughter of Thomas Clinton, 3rd Earl of Lincoln
 * Rev. George Phillips, co-founder of Watertown
 * Charles Fiennes
 * Thomas Dudley, his wife, two sons, and four daughters
 * William Coddington, a Governor of Rhode Island Colony and his wife
 * William Pynchon and his wife and three daughters
 * William Vassall, for whom Vassalboro, Maine was named, and his wife
 * John Revell, merchant, who lent money to the Plymouth Colony, and who was chosen assistant to the Massachusetts Bay Colony
 * Captain Thomas Wiggin, the first Governor of the Province of New Hampshire
 * Robert Abell
 * Stephen Bachiler, founder of Hampton, New Hampshire
 * Simon Bradstreet and his wife Anne Bradstreet
 * Jehu Burr, ancestor of Aaron Burr
 * Samuel Cole, purveyor of the first tavern in the new world
 * Edward Convers
 * Christopher Hussey, early settler of Hampton, New Hampshire and Nantucket, Massachusetts
 * Thomas Mayhew
 * Allan Perley
 * Robert Seeley
 * Isaac Stearns
 * John Taylor
 * Captain John Underhill
 * John Wilson, first minister of the First Church of Boston
 * Captain Edward Johnson, a leading figure in colonial Massachusetts and one of the founders of Woburn, Massachusetts

 * William Hawthorne, Ancestor of Author Nathaniel Hawthorne

 * William Chesebrough (1595-1667) Founder & Prominent Citizen of Stonington, CT, Farmer, Politician, & Prominent member of Greater Boston Society

A complete list of passengers is maintained by The Winthrop Society, a hereditary organization of descendants of the Winthrop Fleet and later Great Migration ships that arrived before 1634.

Despite its not being cited as a reference herein, the definitive work on the Winthrop migration, its roots, structure, ships, and passengers is Robert Charles Anderson, The Winthrop Fleet: Massachusetts Bay Company Immigrants to New England, 1629–1630 (Boston, 2012), 833 pp. All other accounts pale in comparison.

Dodger infield of Garvey, Lopes, Russell and Cey
I've just reverted for the second time your edit(s) on this page. The first time was because there was no link to a wiki article specifically about this event, the second time was because there was no inline citation. These are both requirements for DOY articles as stated at WP:DOYSTYLE and WP:DOYCITE. Before you add this entry again, please discuss here on the talk page. My own feeling is that a single sentence in the 1973 Los Angeles Dodgers season does not meet the requirement for this to be regarded as significant, but if you think it is, then please write the article first. Thanks, Kiwipete (talk) 04:26, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * This is a single event on a single day. The event in question is found at 1973 Los Angeles Dodgers season. WP:DOYCITE says, "Any material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed and should not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source." Looking at Inline citation, I believe that 1973 Los Angeles Dodgers season counts. It does not say it has to have its own have its own article.

 * In addition, while there is an article about the Dodger infield of Garvey, Lopes, Russell and Cey, them playing together for the first time doesn't meet the threshold of WP:EVENTDOY. Toddst1 (talk) 14:05, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Sorry you feel that way because the consensus on the project is clear - The second and third sentences of Days of the year:  Each of these people are notable in their own right. The 4 of them working together as an infield group are notable enough to have an article, but the game where the 4 of them started to do so was not significant enough to have an article. In comparison, these baseball games are notable enough: Category:Major League Baseball games.   Toddst1 (talk) 21:45, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * June 13 is the start of the event discussed atDodger infield of Garvey, Lopes, Russell and Cey. How is it different from this entry at June 6:
 * 1944 – Commencement of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy, with the execution of Operation Neptune—commonly referred to as D-Day—the largest seaborne invasion in history. Nearly 160,000 Allied troops cross the English Channel with about 5,000 landing and assault craft, 289 escort vessels, and 277 minesweepers participating. By the end of the day, the Allies have landed on five invasion beaches and are pushing inland.
 * Please explain. --evrik (talk) 16:26, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Old Style (Julian) / New Style (Gregorian) Calendar Confusion - First Battle of Kosova
I cannot understand this eternal confusion in Wikipedia. Some dates you give in the Julian calendar "because it was valid THEN". True enough, it was. But we live in the present times, and Wikipedia is written in the present times too. So it would be appropriate to use the calendar which is valid and generaly accepted worldwide IN THE PRESENT TIMES - and that is the Gregorian calendar. The conversion is easy - just add 13 days to the Julian date and you have the gregorian date. So, the First Battle of Kosova, as it should be properly named, because there was yet another in 1448, took place on June 28 1389.

Not even the Julian calendar was once valid. How do you give the dates from those times then? In some parts of the world, neither Julian nor Gregorian calendar was valid, but, for example the Hijri calendar - yet you give Hijri dates rarely. So really, I do not understand this confusion. Stick to Gregorian calendar, it is valid and accepted in the present times. Conversion is maximally easy. 2A02:AB04:2B7:BB00:C4AA:D0E5:5ADD:AD61 (talk) 09:28, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Incorporation of IBM
An IP added the founding of IBM, but this was reverted as non-notable. Looking at the other events listed in the 1903 - 1925 range, I suggest that the event is easily notable enough to be listed here. -- John of Reading (talk) 10:29, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * There isn't anything specifically notable about the founding of a company that impacts the world. It's really just a bare fact.  Items are evaluated individually, usually immediately after they're added, and aren't compared to others in the list at the time.  There are many events on the date pages that shouldn't be there, but the new ones get noticed first.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 10:38, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

I looked around for other well-known brands, McDonald's, The Coca-Cola Company and Microsoft, to be specific, and those that had specific dates listed for their founding are listed in the events sections for their respective founding dates. When the company itself impacts the world to such a large degree, then its founding is a notable event. Mike padilla (talk) 21:26, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Achaia (Roman province)

Achaia (Ἀχαΐα), sometimes spelled Achaea,  was a province of the Roman Empire, consisting of the Peloponnese, Attica, Boeotia, Euboea, the Cyclades and parts of Phthiotis, Aetolia and Phocis. In the north, it bordered on the provinces of Epirus vetus and Macedonia. The region was annexed by the Roman Republic in 146 BC following the sack of Corinth by the Roman general Lucius Mummius, who was awarded the surname "Achaicus" ('conqueror of Achaia'). Initially part of the Roman province of Macedonia, it was made into a separate province by Augustus.

Achaia was a senatorial province, thus free from military men and legions, and one of the most prestigious and sought-after provinces for senators to govern. Athens was the primary center of education for the imperial elite, rivaled only by Alexandria, and one of the most important cities in the Empire. Achaia was among the most prosperous and peaceful parts of the Roman world until late antiquity, when it first suffered from barbarian invasions. The province remained prosperous and highly urbanized, however, as attested in the 6th-century Synecdemus.

The Slavic invasions of the 7th century led to widespread destruction, with much of the population fleeing to fortified cities, the Aegean islands and Italy, while some Slavic tribes settled the interior. The territories of Achaia remaining in Byzantine hands were grouped into the theme of Hellas.

Conquest and Republican period
In 150–148 BC the Romans fought the Fourth Macedonian War, after which they annexed Macedon, formerly the largest and most powerful state in mainland Greece. In 146 BC the Achaean League initiated the Achaean War against Rome. The contemporary historian Polybius blames the demagogues of the cities of the Achaean League for encouraging a rash decision and inciting a suicidal war. The League was quickly defeated by Lucius Mummius and its main city, Corinth, was destroyed. After the war, the Romans annexed mainland Greece. A group of ten commissioners "put down democracies" in the Greek cities (Pausanias) through a programme of "constitutional restructuring" which involved the introduction of property qualifications for participating in civic politics, temporarily abolished the Achaean, Boeotian, Locrian, and Phocaean Leagues, and levied tribute on the individual cities. However, the cities remained mostly self-governing. Athens and Sparta, which had not participated in the war remained autonomous and free. It is disputed whether Greece became part of the Roman province Macedonia or was left unincorporated. Interventions by the governor of Macedonia in Greek affairs are attested, but also the dispatch of separate legates direct from Rome. Roman governance over the following century remained "rather ad hoc."

In the Dyme Affair of 144 BC, a faction in the city of Dyme passed laws "contrary to the type of government granted by the Romans," staged a revolution, and destroyed their town hall and official records. At the request of the Dymaean town councillors, Quintus Fabius Maximus issued a ruling, sentencing the revolutionaries to death. An inscription recording judicial decisions made in the Greek city of Demetrias in the mid-second century BC says that the judgements were made in accordance with local law and "the edicts and judgements of the Romans", indicating that Roman law was already considered to apply to the region only a few years after the Achaean War.

In the following decades, many Greek communities sought to establish treaty relationships of "friendship and alliance" with Rome, apparently finding this preferable to free status. Treaties are attested, mostly by inscriptions, with Epidaurus and Troezen in the late second century BC, Astypalaea in 105 BC, Thyrium in 94 BC. The cities probably sought these treaties as a way of safeguarding their territory from their larger neighbours. Rome was increasingly called upon by the Greek communities to arbitrate in disputes between them, instead of seeking inter-state arbitration as had been common in the Hellenistic period. In these disputes, "friends and allies" of the Romans were usually favoured.

Mithridatic and civil wars
The First Mithridatic War (89–85 BC) was fought in Attica and Boeotia, two regions which were to become part of the province of Achaia. In 89 BC, Mithradates VI Eupator, king of Pontus, seized the Roman Province of Asia (in western Anatolia). Mithridates then sent Archelaus (his leading military commander) to southern Greece, where he established Aristion as a tyrant in Athens. The Roman consul Lucius Cornelius Sulla landed in Epirus (in western Greece) and marched on Athens. He marched through Boeotia on his way to Attica. Sulla besieged Athens and Piraeus in 87-86 BC and then sacked Athens and destroyed Piraeus. He then defeated Archelaus at the Battle of Chaeronea and the Battle of Orchomenus, both fought in Boeotia in 86 BC. Roman rule was preserved. Following the war, Sulla pardoned the Greek cities that had followed Mithridates and restored the legal systems that had been given to them by the Romans previously.

As the part of the Roman East closest to Italy, Greece was a central theatre of the civil wars of the Late Republic. The war between Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great culminated in Caesar's victory at the Battle of Pharsalus in Thessaly in 48 BC. in 46 BC, southern Greece was separated out from Macedonia as a separate province for first time by Julius Caesar, who placed it under a proconsul, but this was reversed at some point after his assassination in 44 BC. Caesar also ordered the refoundation of Corinth, abandoned since 146 BC, as a Roman colony. Caesar's assassins, led by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus, based themselves in Greece during the Liberators' civil war, until their defeat by Octavian and Mark Antony of the Second Triumvirate at the Battle of Philippi in 42 BC. After the battle, the Second Triumvirate assigned Greece along with the rest of the East to Mark Antony, who remained in control of it until his defeat by Octavian at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC.

Principate
After the defeat of Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium, the Emperor Augustus separated Greece, Thessaly, and part of Epirus from Macedonia in 27 BC.The new province was named Achaia and was a senatorial province (Macedonia remained a senatorial province as well). In AD 15, Emperor Tiberius, responding to complaints of mismanagement by the senatorial proconsul made Achaia and Macedonia Imperial provinces and placed both of them under the control of Gaius Poppaeus Sabinus, the Imperial procurator of Moesia. After Sabinus' death in AD 35, this situation continued under the new procurator, Publius Memmius Regulus, until AD 44, when Emperor Claudius separated Macedonia and Achaia once more and restored them to the Senate.

The Roman Emperor Nero visited Greece in AD 66, and performed at the Ancient Olympic Games, despite the rules against non-Greek participation. He was honoured with a victory in every contest, and in the following year, he proclaimed the freedom of the Greeks at the Isthmian Games in Corinth, just as Flamininus had over 200 years previously. This grant of freedom was cancelled by Vespasian, who is meant to have quipped that "the Greeks had forgotten how to be free."

Hadrian (117–138) was particularly fond of the Greeks, particularly Athens. He saw himself as an heir to Theseus and Pericles and had served as an eponymous archon of Athens before he became emperor. He carried out constitutional reforms at Athens in 126 and instituted a special 'council of the Panhellenes', where representatives of all Greek states met to discuss religious affairs, in Athens and under Athenian leadership. Hadrian was also responsible for large scale construction projects there, such as the completion of the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Athenians built the Arch of Hadrian in his honour nearby. Construction was also carried out by local notables, many of whom became Roman citizens and joined the Imperial elite, most notably Herodes Atticus.

During the Marcomannic Wars, in 170 or 171, the Costoboci invaded Roman territory, sweeping south through the Balkans to Achaia, where they sacked the sanctuary of Demeter and Persephone at Eleusis. Even though much of the invasion force was spent, the local resistance was insufficient and the procurator Lucius Julius Vehilius Gratus Julianus was sent to Greece with a small force to clear out the remnants of the invaders.

Administration
Many of the cities in the province, including Athens, Delphi, Thespis, and Plataea, were "free cities" and did not fall under the authority of the governor. From some time in the reign of Trajan a separate official the corrector was appointed to oversee their affairs. This office was increasingly merged with that of the provincial governor as time went on.

Legal cases could be appealed to the governor. He was advised by a "council" (consilium) and often delegated judicial powers to members of the council or other officials. There were also juries of provincials, composed of both Greeks and Roman citizens resident in the province. Cases regarding borders between provinces, free cities, and Roman colonies were usually decided by the emperor. Cases could only be appealed to these authorities if they involved more than a certain amount of money, involved status, or carried the death penalty.

Culture
The Pax Romana was the longest period of peace in Greek history, and Greece became a major crossroads of maritime trade between Rome and the Greek speaking eastern half of the empire. The Greek language served as a lingua franca in the East and in Italy, and many Greek intellectuals such as Galen would perform most of their work in Rome. Roman culture was highly influenced by the Greeks; as Horace said, Graecia capta ferum victorem cepit ("Captive Greece captured her rude conqueror"). The epics of Homer inspired the Aeneid of Virgil, and authors such as Seneca the Younger wrote using Greek styles. Some Roman nobles regarded the contemporary Greeks as backwards and petty, while still embracing the Greeks' literature, philosophy, and heritage.

During this time, Greece and much of the rest of the Roman east came under the influence of Early Christianity. The apostle Paul of Tarsus preached in Philippi, Corinth and Athens, and Greece soon became one of the most highly Christianized areas of the empire.

Later Roman Empire
Under Diocletian, the province of Achaia became a subdivision of the new diocese of Moesia. Under Constantine, the diocese was split and Achaia became part of the Diocese of Macedonia, which was itself assigned to the Praetorian prefecture of Italy or Illyricum at different points in the fourth century AD.

In 267, the Heruli led a naval invasion of the Aegean, before landing near Sparta and plundering the Peloponnese, including not only Sparta, but also Corinth, Argos, and the sanctuary of Zeus at Olympia. They then moved north and sacked Athens, before being defeated by a local force led by the Athenian Dexippus, whose writings were a source for later historians. In the aftermath of this invasion, much of the classical and imperial monuments of Athens were spoliated to build the Post-Herulian wall, which enclosed only a small area around the Acropolis. Although a smaller city, Athens remained a centre of Greek culture and especially of Neo-Platonist pagan philosophy.

Greece was again invaded in 395 by the Visigoths under Alaric I. Stilicho, who ruled as a regent for Emperor Arcadius, evacuated Thessaly and Arcadius' chief advisor Eutropius allowed Alaric to enter Greece, where he looted Athens, Corinth and the Peloponnese. Stilicho eventually drove him out around 397 and Alaric was made magister militum in Illyricum.

Greece remained part of the relatively cohesive and robust eastern half of the empire, which eventually became the center of the remaining Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman now referred to as Byzantine Empire. Contrary to outdated visions of Late Antiquity, the Greek peninsula was most likely one of the most prosperous regions of the Roman Empire. Older scenarios of poverty, depopulation, barbarian destruction, and civil decay have been revised in light of recent archaeological discoveries. In fact the polis, as an institution, appears to have remained prosperous until at least the 6th century. Contemporary texts such as Hierokles' Syndekmos affirm that late antiquity Greece was highly urbanised and contained approximately eighty cities. This view of extreme prosperity is widely accepted today, and it is assumed between the 4th and 7th centuries AD, Greece may have been one of the most economically active regions in the eastern Mediterranean.

Economy
Copper, lead, and silver mines were exploited in Achaia, though production was not as great as the mines of other Roman-controlled areas, such as Noricum, Britannia, and the provinces of Hispania. Marble from Greek quarries was a valuable commodity.

Educated Greek slaves were much in demand in Rome in the role of doctors and teachers, and educated men were a significant export. Achaia also produced household luxuries, such as furniture, pottery, cosmetics, and linens. Greek olives and olive oil were exported to the rest of the Empire.

José Gervasio Artigas birthday
User:Alejito2016 has added an entry for the birth of José Gervasio Artigas to the Holidays and observances section, even though his birth is already listed in the births section. I reverted their change, but they have reverted my revert. I want to avoid an edit war, so would welcome comments here. Thanks, Kiwipete (talk) 21:10, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

 * @Kiwipete José Gervasio Artigas' birth is listed in the births section because he was born on this day, that's correct. My edit was to add it as a National Public Holiday in Uruguay, because it is, according to Law Nr. 9935. The official name is "Natalicio de Artigas" (Spanish for Birthday of Artigas), and it is also when the citizens took the pledge of allegiance to the flag, therefore, it is of great importance in the country, and that is why it should be highlighted.
 * The holiday "Never Again Day" that was listed in the Holidays and observances section IS NOT a public holiday in Uruguay, the "José Gervasio Artigas Birthday" is, and for that reason I reverted your revert. I do not intend a war of edits, I hope it can be solved. Thanks. Alejito2016 (talk) 21:29, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Who is the main editor for June 20?
I'd like to ask them a question regarding one of them hidden comments within the page itself. BronzeWarrior 10:43, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * We're all editors. However, since you mention in-line comments, I've been slowly working my way through the date articles and standardizing the comments on this:

''Do not add people without Wikipedia articles to this list Do not trust “this year in history” websites for accurate date information Do not link multiple occurrences of the same year, just link the first occurrence.'' Rklawton 18:20, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

First Day of Northern Summer
The article's current version states that meteorological summer (in N.Hemisphere) begins on the date. Two things about this should be changed. Firstly, astronomical summer can begin on this date. Meteorological summer consists of the period between June 1-August 31 in the Northern Hemisphere. Also, I believe the solstice more commonly falls on the 21st, this article should take note of that. 99.107.199.30 (talk) 02:25, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Moscow-Washington Hotline
According to this page: "The so-called "red telephone" link is established between the Soviet Union and the United States following the Cuban Missile Crisis." Looking around, it seems that August 30th is the date celebrated as the hotline's anniversary since that's the day it opened, and only the Memorandum of Understanding stating the intention to make it was signed on June 20th. I think the line should be tweaked to indicate only the memo was today, something like "An agreement is signed leading to the "red telephone" between the Soviet Union and the United States following the Cuban Missile Crisis."170.178.234.233 (talk) 14:16, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Shaun Goater Day
This was a one off day on 21 June 2000 to mark Shaun's contribution to Bermudian international standing through his activities as a professional footballer in the English Football Premiership.

However, contrary to popular belief, the day has not been subsequently officially marked, nor is it a public holiday in Bermuda or anywhere else. Martyn Smith 11:03, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

What Government?

 * The Liberal minority Government survives passing its NDP additions (C-48) to its 2005 Budget (C-43), by catching the conservatives off guard with missing members. A vote on C-43 the following week would have likely been defeated and triggered an election.

The reason for this is that it contains no information about what country this is about. I have no idea what this entry even means because of a basic lack of context. Also, it doesn't actually appear to be that important in the grand scheme of things. If it actually triggered a general election for some country then maybe it would have been worth keeping. --Colin Angus Mackay 22:39, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Is the 1994 plane crash really notable enough for the box?
Where as the 1994 aircraft crash and the deaths of four people is noteworthy enough to include in the article and must have been tragic for all involved is it really noteworthy enough to be included in the mainpage box? Personally I would have thought something like Arnold's 1947 UFO sighting, which is not in the box yet would be more noteworthy both inside and outside the united states because it kicked off the UFO cultural craze that swept the world. Military plane crashes, either by enemy action, human error or safety failings are not uncommon and health and safety reviews of equipment and inquests happen after most of them. --Shearluck (talk) 21:57, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

I came to this page using Citation Hunt regarding the entry "1597 – The first Dutch voyage to the East Indies reaches Banten, Java.[citation needed][6]" There is a citation there but that page does not confirm this date or even the specific landing at Banten, Java. Another source I found uses the date June 27, 1596, while several others just say June 1596. A few 'This Day in History" type pages list June 24, 1957, the same way this page does, but without any reference material. All references I found said 1596, not 1597.
