Reading the year 170 in Japanese
Japanese sources from this period date events by era name, not by the Western calendar. Years are written with 年 (ねん, nen) — so 1600 appears as 慶長5年, "the fifth year of Keichō".
The year itself is read 170年 (170ねん) in modern Japanese. Browse the full timeline to see where this year sits in the wider arc, or the 2nd century for its neighbours.
