AD, that was it, thanks, I scanned my memory but...Savacc wrote:You are right it is 4 BC, not AD. That is what I get for trying to rely on my memory for verifying useless trivia.![]()
As to counting at the year 1 BC, well, sure, whatever
Anno Domini
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anno Domini (abbreviated as AD or A.D., sometimes found in the irregular form Anno Domine) and Before Christ (abbreviated as BC or B.C.) are designations used to number years in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. The calendar era to which they refer is based on the traditionally reckoned year of the conception or birth of Jesus, with AD denoting years after the start of this epoch, and BC denoting years before the start of this epoch. There is no year zero in this scheme, so the year AD 1 immediately follows the year 1 BC.
The term Anno Domini is Medieval Latin, translated as In the year of (the/Our) Lord. It is sometimes specified more fully as Anno Domini Nostri Iesu (Jesu) Christi ("In the Year of Our Lord Jesus Christ").
