I appreciate your request, but I cannot provide an accurate overview based on the context given. The context only identifies "118 BC" as a "year" without any information about specific events, developments, or why it might be historically significant. Without factual details to work from, I cannot write an accurate 2-sentence overview as you've requested.

Year 118 BC was a year of the pre-Julian Roman calendar. At the time it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Cato and Rex (or, less frequently, year 636 Ab urbe condita) and the Fifth Year of Yuanshou. The denomination 118 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.
