While referring to any historical facts we usually suffix the year with either AD or BC.
Now, what is AD and BC?
Most of the people will say it as BC - Before Christ and AD - After Death. Is that right?
The answer is "No"
I will ask you one question. If we say both the periods as "Before Christ" and "After Death" where do you classify the 30+ years during which Jesus Christ actually lived? Gotcha...
Now let me brief on both these things...
BC - Before Common Era (Formerly called as BCE)
AD - Anno Domini (Means: "Year of the Lord" in Medieval Latin)
BC (or) BCE:
In common man's understanding BC means "Before Christ" which is also correct to a certain extent where AD calendar numbers were started only after the birth of Jesus and to mark the era of Jesus christ. So our understanding on BC is partially correct.
AD:
This is our topic for discussion. Jesus was believed to be born between 6 - 4 BC. Anna Domini calendar numbering system was invented by "Dionysius Exiguous". History can always be predicted and cannot be confirmed, like wise Dionysius Exiguous created this calendar to predict the year of Ester in which he partially succeeded. This AD calendar was developed approximately in year AD 525 but not extensively used till AD 800.
