You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 184.73.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:41, 2 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

__NOTOC__
Year '''294 BC''' was a year of the [[Roman calendar|pre-Julian Roman calendar]]. At the time it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Megellus and Regulus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 460 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 294 BC 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 ==
<onlyinclude>

=== By place ===
==== Greece ====
* [[Archidamus IV]], king of [[Sparta]], son of [[Eudamidas I]] and grandson of [[Archidamus III]], is defeated by [[Demetrius Poliorcetes]] of [[Macedon]]ia in a battle at [[Mantinea]]. Sparta is saved only because Demetrius is called away by the threatening activities of his rivals [[Lysimachus]] and [[Ptolemy I Soter|Ptolemy]].
* [[Alexander V of Macedon]] is ousted by his brother, [[Antipater II of Macedon|Antipater II]]. Therefore Alexander V turns to Demetrius Poliorcetes for help in recovering his throne. However, Demetrius Poliorcetes establishes himself on the throne of Macedonia and then murders Alexander V. Antipater II loses the throne of Macedonia but is able to survive.
* [[Pyrrhus of Epirus]] exploits the dynastic quarrel in Macedonia involving Alexander V of Macedon, his brother, Antipater II and Demetrius Poliorcetes to take over the frontier areas of [[Parauaea]] and [[Tymphaea]], along with [[Acarnania]], Ampholochia, and [[Ambracia]].
* Lysimachus concludes a peace with Demetrius Poliorcetes whereby Demetrius Poliorcetes is recognized as ruler of Macedonia.

==== Roman Republic ====
* [[Third Samnite War]]:
:* On a road connecting Roman and Samnite territory, the Samnites attack and nearly capture the camp of consul [[Marcus Atilius Regulus (consul 294 BC)|Marcus Atilius Regulus]], who retreats to [[Sora, Lazio|Sora]] and is joined by consul [[Lucius Postumius Megellus (consul 305 BC)|Lucius Postumius Megellus]]. The combining of consular armies prompts the Samnite army to withdraw to Samnium.
:* Postumius storms the Samnite city of Milionia, and several other towns, including Fertrum, are abandoned by their inhabitants and occupied by Postumius.
:* Without senatorial permission, Postumius marches to [[Etruria]], wins an engagement against the [[Volsinii]] and storms the town of [[Rusellae]]. The cities of Volsinii, [[Perugia|Perusia]], and [[Arezzo|Arretium]] sue for peace with Rome and obtain truces for forty years. 
:* Atilius marches to [[Apulia]] to relieve [[Lucera|Luceria]] from a Samnite siege but is intercepted by the Samnites near the city, where he is defeated by a smaller army. He then wins an engagement against the Volcentes.
:* After an unsuccessful attempt to capture the Roman colony of Interamna, a Samnite army raids the surrounding countryside only to be attacked by Atilius, who recovers the booty.
:* Against precedent, Postumius has the [[Comitia Centuriata]] vote him a triumph despite senatorial opposition.<ref>((cite book|first= Titus|last= Livius|title=Ab Urbe Condita 10.32-37, 47))</ref><ref>((cite book|first= Fasti|last= Triumphales|title=294 BC))</ref><ref>((cite book|first= John|last= Zonaras|title=Epitome of Histories 7.26))</ref><ref>((cite book|first= S.

==== Egypt ====
* Ptolemy gains control over [[Cyprus]] and the [[Phoenicia]]n coastal towns of [[Tyre, Lebanon|Tyre]] and [[Sidon]].

==== Seleucid Empire ====
* [[Stratonice of Syria|Stratonice]], daughter of Demetrius Poliorcetes and wife of [[Seleucus I Nicator|Seleucus]] marries her stepson [[Antiochus I Soter|Antiochus]]. Seleucus has reportedly instigated the marriage after discovering that his son by his late wife [[Apama]] was in danger of dying of lovesickness as he has fallen in love with his beautiful stepmother.

====China====
* General [[Bai Qi]] of the [[State of Qin]] launches a surprise attack on the [[State of Han]] and captures the city of Xincheng.<ref>((cite book|first=Sima|last= Qian|title=Records of the Grand Historian, Section: Basic Annals of Qin, Section: Bai Qi))</ref>
