History of the Golden Age

War between the Werewolves and the Faes in Hibernia (Ireland), during which the Werewolves' weakness to silver and the Faes' weakness to cold iron became known to the world.

According to Gaius Plinius Secundus (also called Pliny the Elder), a meteorite fell in the town of Aegospotami, in Thrace. He described it as brown in colour and the size of a wagon load.

Following the humiliation of Rome by the Gauls, the Latin League turns on Rome, starting a series of conflicts. During that period, Collat solidified Cainite's control over the Republic by establishes the Eternal Senate (Senatus Immortalis), as well as the Eternal Century (Centuria Immortalis), a Cainite military unit, in order to reconsolidate Rome's power. He also establishes the Collegium Tenebris as safe guard against another Baali rising.

After years of reports by Lysander about the growing threat of the Brujah-led cults in Carthage, and further pleas by the Malkavians Inanna and Alchias, Camillia initiated the First Punic War, leading to the conquest of Sicilia and the removal of Carthaginian influence over Syracuse.

Negotiation of an accord between an order of Mages in Rome and their counterpart in Serica (China) is known to the Eternal Senate, furthering tension between Cainites and Mages.

Rome conquers Greece. Later, Rome destroys Carthage, ending the Third Punic War.

The apparition of 87 BC was recorded in Babylonian tablets which state that the comet was seen "day beyond day" for a month. This appearance may be recalled in the representation of Tigranes the Great, an Armenian king who is depicted on coins with a crown that features, according to Vahe Gurzadyan and R. Vardanyan, "a star with a curved tail [that] may represent the passage of Halley's Comet in 87 BC." Gurzadyan and Vardanyan argue that "Tigranes could have seen Halley's Comet when it passed closest to the Sun on August 6 in 87 BC" as the comet would have been a "most recordable event"; for ancient Armenians it could have heralded the New Era of the brilliant King of Kings.

The army of the Roman Republic, led by general Julius Caesar, annexed Gaul, becoming a Roman province. Local client kings and tributary tribes set up in Britain.

Following their defeat against Octavius at the Battle of Alexandria, Marcus Antonius and Cleopatra separately committed suicide. Ptolemy XV Caesar (Caesarion), son of Caesar and Cleopatra, and last of the Ptolemaic pharaoh, is executed by Octavius.
