484 BC

484 BC was a year in the Julian calendar, a proleptic usage as the Julian calendar was not formally established until 45 BC. In the Roman calendar, it was designated as year 270 Ab Urbe Condita, meaning "from the founding of the city" (Rome).

Historically, this year falls within the Classical period of ancient Greece and the early Roman Republic. Significant events and developments likely occurred in various regions, though detailed records may be fragmented or unavailable depending on the location and culture. Possible areas of interest for study include:

• Greek City-States: Examination of political alliances, conflicts, and cultural activities within the Athenian-led Delian League or among Peloponnesian League members. Specific individuals like Aeschylus or figures involved in Persian Wars aftermath would be of note.
• Roman Republic: This was a period of expansion and consolidation for the Republic. Consuls, military campaigns, and social stratification would be crucial elements of study.
• Persian Empire: Rule of Xerxes I, examining the administration of his vast empire, its internal affairs, or the preparation for or aftermath of conflicts with the Greeks.
• China: This corresponds to the late Spring and Autumn period of the Zhou dynasty. The increasing power of individual states and the philosophical and political developments of the era would be relevant.
• Other Regions: Examination of archaeological evidence and historical records from other parts of the world such as Egypt, the Middle East, or India.
