Timeline for DDA1 and 2
by Andrew TheisenI've compiled a list of events and dates from the adventures Arena of Thyatis and Legions of Thyatis, both by John Nephew. Some interesting tidbits to flesh out Thyatian history in here. For simplification, I'll just use 1 and 2 for reference (indicating the module I got the derived information from):

Unknown dates:
??? - "Years ago": Helenites Osteropolus kills his wife's best friend in a fit of rage. (1)
??? - Helenites and Fabia Osteropolus' daughter dies while very young. (1) *Note, she was presumably born around the time of Pulcher, and probably died around a decade or so past.
Y - Yalag, an orc from the Altan Tepes, is enslaved and sent to work in the mines. (1)
Y+3 - After years working in the mines, Yalag is sent to the Arena of Markrast. His successes as a gladiator allow him to eventually purchase his freedom. (1)
Y+10 - Yalag decides to retire from fighting in the arena, and become a trainer for gladiators instead. (1)
??? - Sometime before 960 AC (the Thyatian/Alphatian war), there was a year of terrible plague in Thyatis. (2)
Of particular interest, to me, is that Flavian Osteropolus was a part of the Traladaran Wars of a century ago, which means he probably knew - and likely fought with - Stefan Karameikos' ancestor Stefan the Hermit, as well as the notorius Commander Rosentos.
