The beginning of "The Tempest" by William Shakespeare is marked by a shipwreck caused by a powerful storm conjured by Prospero, the exiled Duke of Milan, to bring his enemies to the island where he has been living in exile with his daughter Miranda. This event sets the stage for the interactions and conflicts that unfold throughout the play.

What event marks the start of Gregorian calendar?

The calendar is intended to mark the number of years since the death of King Herod the Great. The Roman abbot Dionysus Exiguus devised the new Christian calendar in 533. He knew that it was impossible to say when Jesus was born, but he knew, or thought he knew, when Herod died. So, he chose to begin his Christian calendar on the year of Herod's death, and he based this on the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus. Unaware that Augustus only adopted that name four years after his reign began, going by his birth name of Octavius until then, Exiguus commenced his calendar just 4 years too late.
