Post three events, two births, and one death from your day of birth entry on Wikipedia (in this case, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_3).
Three events
350 - Roman usurper Nepotianus, of the Constantinian dynasty, proclaims himself Roman Emperor, entering Rome at the head of a group of gladiators. [Twenty-eight days later, he would be killed.]
1800 - U.S. President John Adams takes up residence in Washington, DC (in a tavern – the White House was not yet completed).
1989 - The government of China sends troops to force protesters out of Tiananmen Square after seven weeks of occupation.
Two births
1853 - William Matthew Flinders Petrie, English Egyptologist (d. 1942)
1930 - Marion Zimmer Bradley, American author (d. 1999)
One death
1899 - Johann Strauss II, Austrian composer (b. 1825)
The Flinders Petrie thing tickles me, because one of my relatives worked with him on several of his digs. Plus, seriation!
