What is ad 67?

AD 67 was a year in the Julian calendar, and it was a common year starting on Tuesday. Some notable events that took place in this year include:

• The Great Fire of Rome occurred in July of this year, during the reign of Emperor Nero. This fire destroyed much of the city and killed an unknown number of people. There were rumors that Nero himself had started the fire, as he supposedly wanted to clear the area for his own palace, but these claims are disputed.
• St. Paul's Second Epistle to Timothy, one of the books of the New Testament of the Christian Bible, was likely written around this time. In this letter, Paul encourages Timothy to be faithful and steadfast in his ministry, and warns him of false teachers who will try to lead him astray.
• The Roman general Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo was executed by Nero, allegedly on charges of treason. Corbulo had been a successful military leader who had won several victories in the east, but his popularity and power may have threatened the emperor.
• The Chinese general Ma Yuan suppressed a rebellion in the Western Regions (modern-day Xinjiang province) and established Chinese control over the region, which had been ruled by small kingdoms and tribes.
• The Jewish feast of Passover was celebrated in Jerusalem, but tensions were high between the Jewish population and their Roman occupiers. Some historians believe that the events leading up to the First Jewish-Roman War began around this time.

Overall, AD 67 was a tumultuous year with significant political and religious developments in various parts of the world.
