AD stands for "Anno Domini," Latin for "year of the Lord." The year in AD is supposedly counted from the birth of Jesus. However, it was a couple of centuries after the time of Jesus that anyone started numbering the years that way, and thee is no guarantee that the actual year was figured out correctly. BC stands for the English phrase "Before Christ." Some countries use initials of the corresponding phrase in their own language; for example France uses AJC for "avant Jesus-Christ."

The time span from 220 BC to 220 AD is 440 years. This is calculated by adding the 220 years from 220 BC to 1 BC and the 220 years from AD 1 to 220 AD, since there is no year 0 in the transition from BC to AD.
