Year 381 BC was a year of the pre-Julian Roman calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Tribunate of Camillus, Albinus, Albinus, Medullinus, Flavus and Ambustus (or, less frequently, year 373 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 381 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

By place

Persian Empire

• The Persian generals, Tiribazus and |Orontes, invade Cyprus, with an army far larger than any King Evagoras of Cyprus could raise. However, Evagoras manages to cut off this force from being resupplied, and the starving troops rebel. However, the war then turns in the Persians' favour when Evagoras' fleet is destroyed at the Battle of Citium (Larnaca, Cyprus). Evagoras flees to Salamis, where he manages to conclude a peace which allows him to remain nominally king of Salamis, though in reality he is a vassal of the Persian king.

Greece

• Sparta increases its hold on central Greece by re-establishing the city of Plataea which Sparta has destroyed in 427 BC.

Roman Republic

• The district of Tusculum is pacified after a revolt against Rome and conquered. After an expression of complete submission to Rome, the people of Tusculum becomes the first "municipium cum suffragio", and thenceforth the city continues to hold the rank of a municipium.

Deaths

• Wu Qi, Chinese military general, Prime Minister of the State of Chu, also a servant of the State of Lu (born in Wei)
