If you are attempting to find the total amount of time, you would add the BC years to the AD years. 1200 BC would be 1200 + 2009 = 3209 years ago.
33 years i believe ============ No. There is no interval at all from B.C. to A.D., not even a year zero. The concept of a mathematical zero had not been developed.
bc stands for before christ ad stands for after death anno domini and before Christ BC is Before Crist and AD is a lattin phrase meaning "Anno Domini" in Latin or "the year of the Lord" in English. But, that has been changed BC-->BCA, standing for Before Common Era, and AD--> CE standing for Common Era. AD stands for the Latin Anno Domini, meaning "Years" (Anno) of our "Lord" Domini and refers to the birth of Jesus which was about 2009 years ago. BC is before Christ.
Oh, dude, let me grab my calculator... Okay, so 776 BC to 396 AD is like adding 776 years and 396 years, which is 1172 years in total. But wait, we gotta subtract 1 because there's no year zero. So, the answer is 1171 years between 776 BC and 396 AD. Cool, right?
150 AD is in the second century, which spans the years 101-200.
1543 - 150 = 1393
1285 plus 150 equals 2435, so add one more year for the year of 0 then it's 2436. There's your answer.
500 years
1009 years
150 years. (969 AD- 1126 AD
AnswerThe years since the traditional year of the birth of Jesus are now abbreviated as either: AD (ad), as in AD 2009 or 2009 AD;CE (ce), as in 2009 CE.

If you let BC years be negative then it could be the difference between -150 and 200 which is 200 - -150 = 350. However, as there was NO year 0 (as zero did not come to Europe until around the 11th-12th centuries and Dionysius Exiguus ("Little Dennis") created the AD/BC system of dates in 247 Anno Diocletani, calculating Jesus' birth to be 531 years earlier and made it 1 AD, thus making his "current year" 532 AD; and explains why the 21st century AD did not start until 2001). Thus from 150 BC to 200 AD is one less at 349 years.
2009
2009 - 387 = 1622
2009-500=1509 years.
