[edit] Events

Accession of Cao Rui as emperor of the Kingdom of Wei of China.
Ardashir I is crowned "King of Kings" of Persia (Iran), beginning the 400 year-reign of the Sassanid Empire.
A merchant from the Roman Empire called "Qin Lun" by the Chinese, arrived in Jiaozhi (near modern Hanoi) and was taken to see Sun Quan, the King of Wu, who requested him to make a report on his native country and people. He was given an escort for the return trip including a present of ten male and ten female "blackish-coloured dwarfs." However, the officer in charge of the Chinese escort died on the way and Qin Lun had to continue his journey home alone. See: [1] An annotated translation of the Weilue.
