I don't have enough context to write an accurate overview of what specifically happened in 334 BC. While this was a significant year in ancient history (notably when Alexander the Great crossed into Asia Minor), you've asked me to base my response only on the context provided, which simply says "year" without further details. Could you provide more information about what aspect of 334 BC you'd like me to address?

The Battle of the Granicus
Year 334 BC was a year of the pre-Julian Roman calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Caudinus and Calvinus (or, less frequently, year 420 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 334 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. It is the year that the Achaemenid Empire was invaded by Alexander the Great.
