BCE or before common era
BCE (or just BC) comes before CE (also known as AD).
bc is the answer .
No, 1 BCE (Before Common Era) and 1 CE (Common Era) are not the same year. 1 BCE is the year immediately before 1 CE, marking the transition from the BCE to CE calendar system. There is no year 0 in this system; the sequence goes directly from 1 BCE to 1 CE.
BCE (Before Common Era) and CE (Common Era) are secular terms used to denote years in the Gregorian calendar. BCE counts years backward from the year 1 CE, so, for example, 500 BCE is 500 years before the start of the Common Era. CE starts from year 1 onward, with 1 CE being the first year, followed by 2 CE, 3 CE, and so on. Thus, the transition from BCE to CE occurs at year 1, with no year 0 in between.
BCE = Before the Common Era or B.C.I now finally understand BC, BCE AD and CE but where does BP come in to play. Before present. Is that before 2013 or before 01?
BCE= Before Common Era CE= Common Era These abbreviations are used instead of BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini, "In the year of the Lord") as being more inclusive, especially for non-Christians.
1492 CE BC means "before Christ"
bce means 'Before Common Era'. It's the dates before we hit 0 and started counting upward. Now, we're in CE, or 'Common Era'.
No, BC: Before Christ, sometimes designated BCE: Before Common Era, comes before AD: Anno Domini or Year of Our Lord, sometimes designated as CE: Common Era.A.D means after death
