AD is the abbreviation for the Latin phrase 'Anno Domini' or "in the year of Our Lord" (Jesus Christ).

Today, some prefer 'CE', to avoid reference to Christianity.

In any event, due to at least 1 calendar error directly affecting years by Denis the Little who omitted the year zero, the answer for your question would be 521 AD.

Comments: The "year zero" controversy is not relevant to this question.

The answer is that AD 522 is correct.

That's because it reads as : In the year of Our Lord 522. Also, that's how it would be done in Latin.

However, that's a bit "nerdy" and you will often see it written the other way too.
