The year 1 BC/BCE is numbered 0, the year 2 BC is numbered −1, and in general the year n BC/BCE is numbered "−(n − 1)" [1] (a negative number equal to 1 − n). The numbers of AD/CE years are not changed and are written with either no sign or a positive sign; thus in general n AD/CE is simply n or + n . [ 1 ]
As of October 2019, the BBC News style guide has entries for AD and BC, but not for CE or BCE. [57] The style guide for The Guardian says, under the entry for CE/BCE: "some people prefer CE (common era, current era, or Christian era) and BCE (before common era, etc.) to AD and BC, which, however, remain our style". [58]
All of this applies to spaces and BC/BCE labels in all of the patterns. Examples: 100 BC, 100 B.C, 100 BCE, 100 BC, etc. Year ranges If there is a range of years BC, convertors should recognise both numbers as years BC. The range may have different kinds of dashes in the middle. On either side of the dash there may be up to one space.
BCE and CE or BC and AD are written in upper case, unspaced, without a full stop (period), and separated from the numeric year by a space (5 BC, not 5BC). It is advisable to use a non-breaking space. AD appears before or after a year (AD 106, 106 AD); BCE, CE, and BC always appear after (106 CE, 3700 BCE, 3700 BC).
The 1st century BC, also known as the last century BC and the last century BCE, started on the first day of 100 BC and ended on the last day of 1 BC. The AD/BC notation does not use a year zero; however, astronomical year numbering does use a zero, as well as a minus sign, so "2 BC" is equal to "year –1". 1st century AD (Anno Domini) follows.
Aegean Civilization (Crete, Greece and Near East; c. 3000 BC – c. 1050 BC) [4] Iron Age Europe (c. 1050 BC – c. 500 AD) Early Iron Age (c. 1050 BC – 776 BC) – part of the Greek Dark Ages; Classical antiquity (776 BC – 476 AD) Archaic Greece (776 BC – 480 BC) – begins with the First Olympiad, traditionally dated 776 BC
A calendar era is the period of time elapsed since one epoch of a calendar and, if it exists, before the next one. [1] For example, the current year is numbered 2025 in the Gregorian calendar, which numbers its years in the Western Christian era (the Coptic Orthodox and Ethiopian Orthodox churches have their own Christian eras).
