As a calendar year, 534 AD occurred during the reign of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I. The Vandalic War, led by Belisarius, culminated in the reconquest of North Africa, with Carthage falling to Byzantine forces around that year. The events of this period are part of the broader effort to restore imperial territories in the western Mediterranean, a process that continued into the mid-6th century. The year 534 is also situated a few decades before the later outbreak of the Plague of Justinian, which began in 541.

In the context of 534 BC, the year lies in the late Archaic to early Classical period of the Greek world, a time of political and cultural development in the ancient Mediterranean basin. While specific events from that exact year are less uniformly recorded, the era as a whole is associated with growth in city-states and evolving patterns of trade and warfare.
