Year 234 (CCXXXIV) 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 Pupienus and Sulla (or, less frequently, year 987 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 234 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.
Events
By place
Roman Empire
- Emperor Alexander Severus and his mother Julia Mamaea move to Moguntiacum (modern Mainz), the capital of Germania Superior. His generals planned a military offensive and built a bridge across the Rhine. Alexander prefers to negotiate for peace by buying off the Alemanni. This policy outrages the Roman legions and he loses the trust of the troops.
China
- Zhuge Liang, Chancellor of Shu Han, embarks on his last Northern Expedition against Cao Wei. During the Battle of Wuzhang Plains, he falls sick and sends secret orders for his army to retreat.
- Wei Yan is executed for treason after refusing to accept orders from Zhuge Liang.
Births
- Emperor Wu of Jin China (approximate date)
- Porphyry, Neoplatonic philosopher (d. c. 305)
- Wang Rong, politician of the Jin Dynasty (d. 305)
Deaths
- Li Yan, general of the Shu Kingdom
- Pan Zhang, general of Kingdom of Wu (b. 177)
- Wei Yan, Shu general (executed by Ma Dai) (b. 175)
