1st millennium

Millennium: 1st millennium BC - 1st millennium - 2nd millennium

In the Gregorian calendar, the 1st millennium is the period of one thousand years that commenced with the year 1 Anno Domini. There is no "year zero" in the Gregorian calendar.

The early 1st millennium marks the peak of the Roman Empire. Late Antiquity is a period of transition, transforming the Eastern Roman Empire into the Byzantine Empire, while the Western Roman Empire collapses, giving rise to the European Early Middle Ages. Christianity and Islam rise to power in the 4th and 7th centuries, respectively. The late 1st millennium sees the transition to the High Middle Ages. World population, which had tripled over the preceding millennium, grew more slowly and could have diminished. Second to one estimate the world's population rose from approximately 170 to 300 million, other estimates vary, some even consider that the world population was reduced from 400 million people to 250 million people.
