first century
Rome's imperial dawn
The first century is the period from the year 1 to 100 CE, though in casual usage it often refers specifically to the era of early Christianity and the Roman Empire at its height: first-century Palestine, a first-century manuscript.
The term appears most frequently in historical and religious contexts.
As an adjective, usually hyphenated: first-century Rome.
