What is Common Era? A report all about Common Era for homework/assignment Common Era (also Current Eraor Christian Era),abbreviated as CE, is an alternative naming of the calendar era, Anno Domini ("in the Year of Our Lord", abbreviated AD).BCE is the abbreviation for Before the Common/Current/Christian Era (an alternative to Before Christ, abbreviated BC).The CE/BCE designation uses the year-numbering system introduced by the 6th-century Christian monk Dionysius Exiguus, who started the Anno Domini designation, intending the beginning of the life of Jesus to be the reference date.Neither notation includes a year zero,and the two notations (CE/BCE and AD/BC) are numerically equivalent; thus " CE" corresponds to "AD ", and "400 BCE" corresponds to "400 BC".
