There is no milestone type visual in Power BI Desktop. Currently the most effective workaround is using Gantt visual. Please vote ideas below:

Alternatively you can look at building a table/matrix representation of the timeline with fields for Year, one for an image that contains that circle and another field for the event description.

For the image bit, insert a column in your table with a URL to a circle and mark the type of the field as Image URL. On rendering the URL will be transformed into circles.
