BCE is the acronym of "Before the Common Era" in indicating dates.

This is becoming the common indicator in place of the old BC or "Before Christ" used to indicate dates more than 2020 years ago. Most of the world does not use the birth of the Christian's Jesus as an important date and the change makes the use of a common dating system more palatable.
