A.D. is the time period when people followed God, or Jesus Christ. It is also known as "in the year of our lord", and B.C. was the time period before the Christianity faith was introduced to the people. B.C. stands for "before Christ".

What was The year 250 AD is the year 250 BC?

The year 250 AD and 250 BC refer to two different eras in the Gregorian calendar, with AD (Anno Domini) denoting years after the birth of Jesus Christ and BC (Before Christ) denoting years before that event. Specifically, 250 AD is 500 years after 250 BC. The two periods are separated by the transition from BC to AD, with no year zero in between. Thus, they represent different points in history, one in the Common Era and the other in the years preceding it.
