Explanation of various calendars
In DCCCLXX A.U.C.(117 AD), at Selinus in Asia Minor, the emperor Trajan, 63, died this day from a stroke (as had his predecessor Nerva).
In Egypt, this was the celebrated day known as The Breaking of the Nile, or the Opet Festival. The original festival lasted 11 days but was later extended to 27 days. The statue of Amun, the state god of Egypt, was taken in a floating procession from Karnak to Luxor.
