Year 205 ( CCV) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Aurelius and Geta (or, less frequently, year 958 '' Ab urbe condita'').

Popilius Pedo Apronianus
Popilius Pedo Apronianus (died 205) was a Roman senator, who was active during the reign of Septimius Severus. He was Roman consul in the year 191 with Marcus Valerius Bradua Mauricus as his colleague. A member of the Patrician order, Apronianus has been identified as the grandson of Gaius Popilius Carus Pedo, suffect consul in 147. Apronianus is known to have been proconsular governor of Asia. While proconsul he was murdered on specious grounds: according to Cassius Dio, Arponianus' nurse reported having a dream where he had been engarbed as emperor, and it was believed Apronianus had practiced magic to achieve this. Paul Leunissen dates his tenure as proconsul to either 204/205 or 205/206. Ségolène Demougin suggests Apronianus' fatal end was connected with the fall from power of Gaius Fulvius Plautianus, who was executed on 22 January 205; since proconsuls assumed their posts in the summer months, this would date his tenure to 204/205, and mean the procurator Procurator (w ...

Battle Of Nanpi
The Battle of Nanpi happened in the first month of 205, during the period known as the end of the Han Dynasty. The battle spelled the annihilation of Yuan Tan, one of Yuan Shao's sons vying to succeed their father, by their common enemy Cao Cao, one of the serving Three Ducal Ministers. Having already dealt a major blow to another son Yuan Shang, Cao Cao's victory at Nanpi gave him uncontested control of the North China Plain, while the remnant Yuan power blocs were chased further north. Background Yuan Shao, the powerful warlord of northern China, had been decisively defeated at the Battle of Guandu by Cao Cao in 200. Two years later, he died, leaving his expansive territories of Ji province, Qing province, Bing province, and You province to his three sons and a nephew: Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, and Gao Gan. Although the eldest son was expected to succeed his father, Yuan Shang's supporters forged a document declaring the youngest son, him, as the successor. Yuan Tan, pre ...
