The '''110s''' was a decade that ran from January 1, AD 110, to December 31, AD 119.

In 114, the [[Roman Empire]], ruled by [[Trajan]], invaded Armenia; annexed it as a Roman province and killed [[Parthamasiris of Armenia|Parthamasiris]], who had been placed on the Armenian throne by his relative, the Parthia King [[Osroes I]]. In 115, the Roman Army overran northern Mesopotamia, commencing [[Trajan's Parthian campaign]]. The war was initially successful for the Romans, who, as a result, attained their greatest territorial extent. However, a series of setbacks, including [[Diaspora Revolt|wide-scale Jewish uprisings]] in the [[Eastern Mediterranean]] and [[North Africa]] and Trajan's death in 117, led to a Roman withdrawal. Trajan was succeeded by [[Hadrian]], who withdrew from Mesopotamia and suppressed the last remnants of the Jewish revolt. Near the end of the decade, a [[Quintus Pompeius Falco#Suppressing rebels in Britain|rebellion in Roman Britain]] was suppressed. In 118, the Chinese [[Eastern Han dynasty]] [[Deng Sui#As regent for Emperor An|suppressed a revolt]] by [[Qiang (historical people)|Qiang]] tribes which had erupted the prior decade.

[[115 Antioch earthquake|An earthquake occurred in Antioch in 115]], killing an estimated 260,000 people. The cities of Antioch, Daphne and Apamea were almost completely destroyed. Trees were uprooted and felled; people were thrown down to the ground.  It had an estimated magnitude of 7.5 on the [[surface wave magnitude]] scale and an estimated maximum intensity of XI (''Extreme'') on the [[Mercalli intensity scale]]. [[Antioch]] and surrounding areas were devastated with a great loss of life and property. It triggered a local tsunami that badly damaged the harbour at [[Caesarea Maritima]]. The [[Roman Emperor]] [[Trajan]] was caught in the earthquake, as was his successor [[Hadrian]]. Although the [[Roman consul|consul]] [[Marcus Pedo Vergilianus]] was killed, they escaped with only slight injuries and later began a program to rebuild the city.<ref name="Fant">{{cite book |last1=Fant |first1=C.E. |title=A guide to biblical sites in Greece and Turkey |last2=Reddish |first2=M.G. |publisher=Oxford University Press |year=2003 |isbn=978-0-19-513917-4 |page=303 |chapter=Antioch on the Orontes |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0-OkT0BpyeYC&pg=PT303}}</ref><ref>[[Cassius Dio]], ''Roman History'' [https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Cassius_Dio/68*.html#24 68,24–25]</ref>

In architecture, the decade saw the construction of [[Trajan's Forum]] (the last of the [[Imperial fora]] to be constructed in ancient [[Rome]]), [[Trajan's Column]] (which commemorates the Roman victory in the [[Trajan's Dacian Wars|Dacian Wars]]), the [[Arch of Trajan (Benevento)|Arch of Trajan]], and the [[Roman Pantheon]]. Around this time, [[Juvenal]] wrote [[Satires (Juvenal)|''Satires'']], a collection of [[Satire|satirical]] poems.
