No, it refers to after Christ was born...
AD stands for Anno Domini - translated as In the year of the Lord
BC, because that means "before Christ". So 250 years BC is 250 years before Christ was born. AD means anno Domini, or "after death" (of Christ). The year 77 AD is 77 years after christ died. This year is 2008 AD.
Around 30 AD When Jesus died on the cross
AD stands for Anno Domini, which is a Latin term meaning "in the year of our Lord." It is used to refer to the years after the birth of Jesus Christ in the Gregorian calendar.
BC is before christ. Which is basically the same as BCE, or before common era. Most people think AD means After Death, or After Death of Christ, but that is impossible. Jesus, or christ, died about 36 AD. If it is After death, he cannot have died. He was born 1 AD, as BC is before his creation. AD actually means Anno Domini, meaning years of our lord. In conclusion, AD is during the time Jesus lived. AL is after Life. Which is basically the life after you die.
ad=after death bc=before christ this is how i remember it
BC = Before Christ. AD = Anno Domini (latin) the year of Christ's birth.
It depends whether it is BC or AD If it was BC it was 1200 years before Christ If it was AD it was 1200 years after Christ
AD is easy to remember if it is expressed as 'after death', but AD actually stands for anno Domini. BC is all dates before the birth of Christ, while AD represents all other dates.
AD stands for Anno Domini meaning "after Christ". So 498 AD is 498 years after the birth of Christ.
BC comes first as in Before Christ, AD is Anno Domini or after Christ
AD, or Anno Domini, means 'the year of our Lord' and began the year of Christ's birth.
