Great AAR! I am sure everyone will be following this!

481 Ab Urbe Conditia
(472 BCE)

Is this correct? Shouldn't it be (269BCE)?

[Zaknafien]

First, thanks!

And I dont think so, if you take the founding of Rome to be 753 BCE. Then again I'm not really a math whiz, so I could be wrong :)

Well, 481 years after the fundation of Rome (753BCE) would be 272CE. And besides, 472BCE was a few years after the second Persian invasion of Greece and we are talking about a couple of years after Pyrrhus here.

uh, no.. 753 BCE as 0 AC. 481 years after 0 AC is 481 AC. 753 - 481 = 272 BCE.

Ok wtf I have now been confused.

The dates I know are BC and AC. Wtf is BCE????

[Cataphract_Of_The_City]

uh, no.. 753 BCE as 0 AC. 481 years after 0 AC is 481 AC. 753 - 481 = 272 BCE.

Emm...that's what I said.

BCE,CE = Before Common Era, Common Era. Used instead of BC, AD.
