Many years ago, one of my Christmas presents was a book called 'Ribbons of Time'. It had four or five rows for Science, Medicine, Politics, World, etc and a column for each year from 1492 to the date of publishing. It has always been one of my favourite reference books and a first call when I need some information about what happened on a specific date.
As I read the third volume of the 'Warrior of Rome' books written by Dr. Harry Sidebottom, which covered the period from 260 AD into 261 AD, I thought that I should have one for the period of these books. So I created it, but after I had finished the book, and made it public so that anyone who is reading these books or has an interest can add things. When the next book comes out ( Will I have to wait until next September?) I will add columns on a monthly basis for the period of the story. There will be a problem here as I think that they did not use the 12 months as we know them today in those times.
Here's the start:
