History Trivia

November 16



42 BC Tiberius was born.  He was Roman Emperor from 14-37 AD, during the adult life of Christ.

13 Tiberius' triumphant procession through Rome after his siege of Germany occurred on this day.

534 A second and final revision of the Codex Justinianus (collection of the Roman Imperial constitutions mainly referring to those of the age of Hadrian) was published.

1272 King Henry III of England died.  Only nine-years-old when his father, King John, died, Henry was the first English monarch to be crowned while still a child.  Upon reaching adulthood, his indifference to tradition and lack of effective ruling ability resulted in the barons forcing him to agree to a series of reforms known as the Provisions of Oxford.
