Now, the year in history doesn't affect your FM's. In EB, you make your own history by doing whatever you want. However, the year in history tells you what actually happened in the year it pops up. Like, who's consul, what wars were fought, this guy became king and founded a new city, and so on.
And especially, who is the current Eponymous Archon of Athens, and who won what events in the Olympics.
