๐๐ ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐ : 
Some may have noticed my preference for using the terms PVC/AVC rather than BCE/CE or BC/AD when dating.
I will first give some historical context on how our ancients dated the years before arguing for my use of PVC/AVC;

PVC/AVC refers to ๐๐๐๐๐ or ๐๐ ๐ข๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐, prior and since the founding of the city of Rome by Romulus respectively.
BC/AD refers to the years prior and since the supposed birth of Yeshua of Nazareth.
BCE/CE is simply a secularization of BC/AD.
1 AVC = 753 BC.

AD as a dating system was devised 1278 AVC by the christian Dionysius Exiguus.
Before this the abrahamics dated years according to the reign of Emperor Diocletian and their slaughter at his hands in 1037 AVC.

AM (๐ด๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐๐๐) was also used by both the jews and eastern christians, referring to the year since the presumed creation of the world by their shared god Yahweh.
However, as is often the case with the various abrahamic denominations they disagreed on the actual date.

Prior to Constantine adopting the ibrahimic faith, the individual consulships were used as temporal references (ex: Pompeii erupted in the year of the Consulship of Titus and Vespasianus (832 AVC)).
Before the establishment of the consuls, the reigns of the kings were used.

PVC/AVC was established by the esteemed polymath Marcus Terentius Varro (637-726 AVC), who calculated the date of Rome's founding to the 21rst of April.
This method would be most often used in conjunction to the consular terms in historiographical work (most famously by Livy.)

The Greeks used the Olympiad, a period of 4 years following the Olympic games (ex: Rome was founded in the first year of the 7th Olympiad).
Individual victors were also used (ex: Cumae was conquered by the Samnites in the year Dorieus gained his second victory (326 AVC)).

Why use PVC/AVC rather than BC/AD?
The alienation we have from our roots in the West is in part caused by how modern history is taught.
Rather than seeing the world as our ancestors did we are made to be consciously disconnected from them through our very understanding of time.

I am of a mind that measuring indigenous polytheistic European history in concordance to the supposed birth of a Middle Eastern, Galilean jew, especially when studying anything prior to the reign of Constantine and his adoption of the ibrahimic faith, to be frankly absurd.
