  2. Common Era - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Era

    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]

  3. Calendar era - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_era

    Used for years before AD 1, counting backwards so the year n BC is n years before AD 1. Thus there is no year 0. C.E. (or CE) and B.C.E. (or BCE) – meaning "Common Era" and "Before the Common Era", numerically equivalent to AD and BC, respectively (in writing, "AD" precedes the year number, but "CE" follows the year: AD 1 = 1 CE.) [11] The ...

    The categorisation of the past into discrete, quantified named blocks of time is called periodization. [1] This is a list of such named time periods as defined in various fields of study. These can be divided broadly into prehistorical periods and historical periods (when written records began to be kept).

    For computational reasons, astronomical year numbering and the ISO 8601 standard designate years so that AD 1 = year 1, 1 BC = year 0, 2 BC = year −1, etc. [c] In common usage, ancient dates are expressed in the Julian calendar, but ISO 8601 uses the Gregorian calendar and astronomers may use a variety of time scales depending on the ...

  7. Astronomical year numbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_year_numbering

    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] For normal calculation a number zero is often needed, here most notably when calculating the number of years in a period that spans the epoch ; the end years need only be subtracted from each other.

    Current text: Normally you should use plain numbers for years in the Anno Domini/Common Era, but when events span the start of the Anno Domini/Common Era, use AD or CE for the date at the end of the range (note that AD precedes the date and CE follows it).

  9. BCE/CE is some new, revisionist, “PC” system devised by elitist scholars. BCE/CE simply represent another point of view; BCE/CE does not change the fact that we use the Gregorian calendar, which is just as POV. BCE/CE mean the same thing as BC/AD — they are just letters.
