What does ce mean in 200ce?

CE next to a number indicates that the number is a year of either the Gregorian calendar or the Julian calendar. It stands for Common Era or Christian Era. It was introduced as an alternative to the traditional AD, which stands for Anno Domini, which is Latin for In the Year of Our Lord, primarily because many non-Christians use the Gregorian calendar but are not comfortable referring to Jesus as their Lord. Also, just as BC, which stands for Before Christ, is used in conjunction with AD to indicate a year before the year AD 1, BCE, which stands for Before the Common Era or Before the Christian Era, is used in conjunction with CE to indicate a year before the year 1 CE (someone who would not call Jesus their Lord more than likely does not believe that He is the Christ, either).


Does ACE stand for After Common Era?

Yes, some have used (and some may still use) ACE or A.C.E. to identify dates (specifically year numbers) as belonging to the current period of the Gregorian Calendar, which is the calendar commonly used in many countries, especially English-speaking and other traditionally culturally Christian countries, including the US, and is also something of a de facto lingua franca of timekeeping. In this case, it does stand for After the Common Era, and is presumably intended as the converse of BCE or B.C.E., Before the Common Era. The usage seems illogical, however, because the calendar specifies only two periods of time, the Common Era, which is the period we live in, and the period before it, while After the Common Era along with Before the Common Era, suggests three periods of time: Before the Common Era, (In) the Common Era, and After the Common Era, since an era is a period, rather than an instant, of time.Until the late 20th Century, the most common way to indicate this meaning was with AD or A.D., sometimes thought to mean After Death, but historically abbreviations of the Latin phrase Annō Dominī, which means in the Lord's Year. In more recent years, CE or C.E., for Common Era, has gained widespread acceptance, presumably in an attempt at cultural neutrality.Note that, except for AD/A.D., all these notations are in English, and that other languages use other notations.


What does CE in years?

CE stands for Common Era or Current Era, coinciding with AD (Anno Domini, Latin for "Year of (our) Lord." It is a way of utilizing the current Western calendar without recognizing what is common with this current era. Ironically, it has come to mean the Christian Era, too. This "backronym" is due to the fact our common era is due to the historic event that happened 2012 years ago. It would be like referring to the Nazi era of Germany without mentioning Adolf Hitler or describing the origins of Apple Computers without Steve Jobs. This avoidance of facts is how BC (Before Christ) has been modified to BCE (Before Common Era).

What is CE mean as in 79 CE?

CE is an abbreviation in relation to the mostly accepted calendar of the western world and it means Common Era, Christian Era and/ or Current Era since there are cultures that are not members of the Christian Community and replaced the earlier adopted by the Gregorian calendar AD [Anno Domini in Latin - Lord's Year]. Hence 79 CE means year 79 Common Era. Some religions and/ or nations maintain a parallel calendar for the facilitation and time keeping of their rituals like the Hebrew calendar or the Islamic one. In addition the BCE abbreviation was introduced for the Before Christian, Common and Current Era, despite the fact that Ancient Greeks were time keeping their calendar in an ascending format based in the Olympiads, commencing from the first one that took place at 776 BCE every 4 years.
