De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
'' (Medieval Latin: In the year of (the/Our)
Lord), abbreviated as
'AD' or 'A.D.', is a designation used to number years in the Julian and
Gregorian calendars. More fully, years may be also specified as Anno Domini
Nostri Iesu (Jesu) Christi ("In the Year of Our Lord Jesus Christ").
The calendar era which it numbers is based on the traditionally reckoned year of
the conception or birth of Jesus. 'Before [[Christ]]', abbreviated as 'BC' or
'B.C.', is used in the English language to denote years before the start of this
epoch.
Though the Anno Domini dating system was devised in 525, it was not until the
8th century that the system began to be adopted in Western Europe. According to
the Catholic Encyclopedia, even popes continued to date documents according to
regnal years, and usage of AD only gradually became more common in Europe from
the 11th to the 14th centuries. In 1422,
Portugal became the last Western European country to adopt the Anno Domini
system.
Year numbering using the Anno Domini system (or its alternative Common Era (CE)
designation) is the most widespread numbering system in the world today,
including numbering of decades, centuries, and millennia. It is a de facto
standard as used by international agencies such as the United Nations and the
Universal Postal Union. Its preeminence is a consequence of the European
colonisation of the other continents, thus spreading the Gregorian calendar.
Traditionally, English copied Latin usage by placing the abbreviation before the
year number for AD, but after the year number for BC; for example: 64 BC, but AD
. However, placing the AD after the year number (as in AD) is now also common.
The abbreviation is also widely used after the number of a century or
millennium, as in 4th century AD or 2nd millennium AD. In these cases it should
be read as, e.g., "in the 4th century of the AD scale".
Because B.C. is an abbreviation for Before Christ, some people incorrectly
conclude that A.D. must mean After Death, i.e., after the death of Jesus. If
that were true, the thirty-three or so years of his life would not be in any
era.
