B.C. is anything before Christ, which was anything before somewhere around 2000 years ago. A.D is anything after.
54 b.C.
The last date of BC was 1 BC, then the first date of AD was 1 AD, there was no zero.
Nothing. There was no time period between BC and AD. 1 BC was followed by 1 AD. There was no year zero or any gap between BC and AD.
BC is before AD (Before Christ) (After Death)
BC - Before Christ AD - Anno Domini
54 b.C.
6,000 BC is earlier. A timeline works like so: the "J" represents the birth of Christ, which is the event which separates BC and AD. From the "J" forward is where we are now. The numbers increase 0 to 2011. From the "J" backwards the number decreases 0 to (whenever the world began). Therefore 6,000 BC come before 3,000BC. BC_____________________________J___________________________________ AD
4000 BC; time goes down in BC not upwards like AD. The higher the number in BC the earlier it is
BC = Before (the birth of) Christ. Consequently the New Testament was written later (= AD), but the Old Testament hundreds of years earlier (= BC).
250 AD is later than 250 BC. Translation: 250 years after christ is later than 250 years before christ/
The last date of BC was 1 BC, then the first date of AD was 1 AD, there was no zero.
Okay Will AD is older than BC because AD is very old not like BC
BC : before Christ AD : anno domino
It isn't a question of closer to ad or bc, it IS bc. 3000bc would be -3000ad.
58 years are between 30 BC and AD 30. The first thing you need to remember is that there is no year 0; the year before AD 1 is 1 BC. So the years between 30 BC and AD 30 are... 29 BC, 28 BC, 27 BC, ..., 2 BC, 1 BC, AD1, AD 2, ..., AD 27, AD 28, AD 29 29 BC through 1 BC is 29 years, and AD 1 through AD 29 is 29 years. 29 years + 29 years = 58 years
400 BC is earlier than 220 BC
Nothing. There was no time period between BC and AD. 1 BC was followed by 1 AD. There was no year zero or any gap between BC and AD.
