- Before Current Era - Before Christian Era - Before Christ
Before the Christian Era or Before the Current Era
It is refered to as the common era, current era, or christian era. This one seems to be one nobody can agree on.
BC means Before Christ. Now often written BCE (Before Christian, or Common, or Current Era).AD stands for Anno Domini (the year of the Lord). Now often written as CE (Christian Era, Common Era or Current Era).AC means Alternating Current (in electricity)DC means Direct Current.
BC in a date stands for Before Christ. The term used now is BCE for Before Common Era, Before the Christian Era or Before the Current Era.
It means "year one of the Current Era" (or Common Era).
BC means "Before Christ", but also "Before the Current era".
'AD' (Anno Domini) refers to the current era - the years since the birth of Jesus or, more correctly, since King Herod the Great was once thought to have died (He actually died 4 years earlier).'BC' (Before Christ) refers to the era before Christ, the era immediately preceding the current era.'CE' (Common Era or Christian Era) also refers to the current era and is therefore the direct equivalent to 'AD'. Common Era is now used as an international alternative for 'AD' because it is neutral as to religion and perhaps it is easier to understand.'BCE' (Before Common Era or Before Christian Era) also refers to the era immediately preceding the current era and is therefore the direct equivalent to 'BC'. Before Common Era is now used as an international alternative for 'BC' because it is neutral as to religion.So, 'BC' and 'BCE' have the same meaning, and are followed by 'AD' and 'CE' which also have the same meaning.
The current era today is Cenozoic
Common Era or Current Era, abbreviated CE, is a calendar era that is often used as an alternative naming of the Anno Domini era ("in the year of the Lord"), abbreviated AD. The system uses BCE as an abbreviation for "before the Common (or Current) Era" and CE as an abbreviation for "Common Era". As of 2016, it started 2016 years ago.
