[edit]

Dates were expressd "ab Urbe condita" only in Latin historical works. Greek writers had their own, various systems. For common use, throughout the Roman Empire dates were expressed by the names of the Consuls in charge in the related year; and after the end of the Roman Empire in Occident, by the years of reign of the kings, bishops, or the like. The expression "Anno Domini" is very rare before the 11th century. Until then, expressions like "Anno Incarnationis [dominicae]" or "Anno Salutis" were generally preferred. Note that until the 14th (or even 15th) century, the Iberic Peninsula did not use the Christian Era, but an Era of its own beginning in 38 BC.

Suggestion

[edit]

I would put that information either as a subcatagory in the article or in seperate article. That info is very informative, and if it is just left on this talk page, not as many viewers will read it, since not that many people read the talk pages. =) 04:47, 23 March 2007 (UTC) Udora
