How they are counted the BC years - up or down?

BC years are counted down. For example: 312 BC, 311 BC, 310 BC... and so on until you reach 0, and then it turns from 0 to 1 AD, 2 AD, 3 AD, and so forth. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Actually the BC years originally were counting in ascending order until 395 AD/ CE year that the Emperor Theodosius I the Great issued the decree that forbid the Olympic Games. The ancient world had as counting base the Olympic Games and the Olympiads - the 4 years period between two Olympic Games. There were counted approximately 290 Olympiads since they were introduced in 776 BCE. Several adjustments occurred in the course of time. The major one that survived to current days is the Julian calendar - still in use by the Eastern Greek Orthodox Church - which was introduced and adopted in 46 BCE and until 8 AD/ CE was monitored and fine tuned. This calendar was amended by the Pope Gregory XIII on the 24th of February 1582. The numbering of the years as we understand the term today was set and agreed in 412 AD/ CE. That is the reason that leaves a gap of 4 to 7 years since there is not a year 0 [zero].


When was the aqueduct invented?

they were built in the last century and they were used to filter water for romeThe Roman aqueducts were water conduits which took water form the mountains to the cities. Most of them were underground pipes. Some of them were on top of bridgework. This was done when there was a need to cross a valley or it was needed to keep the conduit at a gradient, as the Romans relied on gravity to make the water move.Roman aqueducts were built whenever they were needed. The first aqueduct was built in 312 BC and it was called the Aqua Appia. Others followed whenever and wherever they were needed.The Roman aqueducts were built over a period of 500 years, with the first being built in 321 BCE. This was the Aqua Appia, which carried water to the City of Rome from a source about 16.4 km away.
