AD anno domini is Latin shorthand for 'year of our lord' so, in Christian countries, any year after the birth of Christ has AD attached. Years before the birth of Jesus are labelled 'BC' - before Christ. The history of classical Greece unfolded long before Christ, so it's all 'BC'. Today CE (Christian Era) and BCE (Before the Christian Era) are also used.

The Greeks themselves used a variety of dating systems before settling on a complicated one which used the years of Olympiads.
