Where and when did the first newspaper circulate?

The first newspaper to circulate regularly was "Avisa Relation oder Zeitung" published in Germany in 1605.

However, there were earlier publications that could be considered precursors to newspapers:

* "Acta Diurna": This was a handwritten newsletter circulating in ancient Rome, providing news of political and social events.

* "The London Gazette": This was a printed publication from England that began in 1665, though it did not circulate regularly at first.

So, while the exact definition of a "newspaper" is debated, "Avisa Relation oder Zeitung" is widely recognized as the first publication to meet the modern criteria of a regularly circulated, printed newspaper.
