This week in history stretches across more than two thousand years of turning points, disasters, firsts, and forgotten stories — all connected by the calendar days of September 1 through 6.

We begin in 31 BC off the coast of Greece, where the Battle of Actium handed Octavian total power and gave Rome its first emperor. Then we travel to 301 AD and the founding of San Marino — still the world's oldest surviving republic — before following Christopher Columbus as he weighs anchor in the Canary Islands in 1492, bound for what he believed was Asia. Thirty years to the day later, the battered Victoria limps back into a Spanish port carrying eighteen survivors and one extraordinary achievement: the first circumnavigation of the globe.

Back in Europe, the Great Fire of London tears through the city in 1666, destroying ten thousand buildings and keeping Christopher Wren employed for decades. In 1878, Emma Nutt becomes the world's first female telephone operator in Boston. Then the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 kills over a hundred thousand people across Tokyo and Yokohama.

We witness the formal end of World War Two aboard the USS Missouri on September 2, 1945, then accelerate into the Cold War era: the SR-71 Blackbird sets an unbeaten transatlantic speed record in 1974, and Robert Ballard locates the wreck of the RMS Titanic in 1985. We close at the 1960 Rome Olympics, where a eighteen-year-old Cassius Clay wins boxing gold and introduces himself to the world.

Ten events. Twenty-plus centuries. One extraordinary week.
