YEAR BC (Before Christ)

YEAR AD (Anno Domini)

BC means Before Christ, and Anno Domini means "the year of our Lord", the period since his birth. So AD and BC refer to the cusp of these two periods in time. Therefore, we count years after Jesus' *supposed* birth.

I don't agree with the "supposed" birth of Jesus, because if it's "supposed" then why is it the marking point to start counting years? It's part of your own explanation.
