Year 301 (CCCI) was a common year starting on Wednesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Postumius and Nepotianus (or, less frequently, year 1054 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 301 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
[edit] Events
[edit] By place

- Emperor Diocletian issues his Edict on Maximum Prices, which, rather than halting rampant inflation and stabilizing the economy, adds to inflationary pressures by flooding the economy with new coinage and by setting price limits too low.
- Diocletian begins the construction of new roads in the Roman Empire. The Strata Diocletiana is built and lined with a series of forts (quadriburgia), it runs from the Gulf of Aqaba (Arabia) to the Euphrates.
[edit] Armenia
- King Tiridates III proclaims Christianity as a official state religion. Armenia becomes the first nation to adopt Christianity. [1][2][3][4][5]
[edit] Europe
- September 3 – The republic of San Marino is established (traditional date).
[edit] Asia
- King Narseh of Persia abdicates, in favor of his son, Hormizd II.
- Sima Lun briefly usurps the Jin Dynasty.
- In India, a man by the name of Pāņini comes up with the first concept for a spoken and written language. Through a series of some 4000 different rules, this is the first time that a language is described in such a way.
