100 B.C. - The temple of Fortuna Primagenia was built. Fortuna Primagenia's worship was originally centered in a grotto, a small cave (it is related to the word crypt) of a type celebrated in Italy for being a cool and refreshing place out of the sun; often water is found in grottoes. Fortuna's Praenestine grotto likely did have a spring or other form of water in it, and it had been decorated with a great mosaic in its floor that depicted the Greek Sea-God Poseidon, who was equated with the Roman Neptune, originally a God of fresh waters.
147 B.C. - Scipio Aemilianus takes command in the Battle of Carthage. He built a mole across the gulf into the harbour, the Carthaginians dug a canal from their inner harbour basin to the coast and put to sea with a full fleet, but they are defeated in a naval engagement.
1030 B.C. - Death of King Olaf II of Norway, king of a nation of seafaring peoples.
