Anno Domini is a term that refers to the years after the birth of Jesus; it means "In the year of the Lord" and is abbreviated A.D. Before Christ is a term that refers to the years before the birth of Jesus; it is abbreviated B.C. By tradition, Jesus was born in 1 A.D. and the preceding year is numbered 1 B.C. - there was no Year Zero.
Modern scholars sometimes substitute the abbreviation C.E. ("Common Era") for A.D. and B.C.E. ("Before the Common Era") for B.C.
