The Year One
Throughout the world different systems have been used to mark the passage of time, but it has been common for cultures to count the passing of years from a specific event in their past. For example, the ancient Greeks counted years from the first Olympic Games (which correlates to 776 B.C. ), while the Romans based their calendar on the founding year of Rome (traditionally 753 B.C. ). The Jewish calendar starts from their idea of when the world was created (3760 B.C. ), while the Muslim calendar begins with the Hijra, the migration of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina in A.D. 622. A monk called Dionysius Exiguus (early sixth century A.D. ) invented the dating system most widely used in the Western world. For Dionysius, the birth of Christ represented Year One. He believed that this occurred 753 years after the foundation of Rome. Although this is almost certainly wrong, since the Gospels state that Christ was born under Herod the Great, who died in 4 B.C., the system was adopted with years expressed as either B.C. (Before Christ) or A.D. ( Anno Domini —"The Year of Our Lord"). The abbreviations BCE (before the common era) and CE (common era) are sometimes used.
