What is the name for a 2,500th anniversary? Or, for that matter, the 5,000th of something?

Bimillennial Quincentennial is best I can find. As far as 5,000, it's all about the prefix to indicate amount, so quincemillennial or something to that effect. Tried to find something a bit more condensed/refined, but not a lot out there.

A period of 500 years is called a quincentennial, and 1,000 years is a millennium. Therefore, a period of 5,000 years would be called a quinmillennial. I don't think there is a Latin word for 250.
