Hi Sally;

Well one was a Pope and the other the 1st Roman Emperor. But in your world Sally you can do what ever you desire.

Before we went to Anno Domini ( AD translated IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD ) and BC ( Before Christ ),
I think they would go by in the 8th year of the reign of Augustus. in the civilized world, or maybe something like the 12th moon of the great flood.

I just didn't want you to be disappointed if 12/13/2012 came around and nothing happened.

Lastly, now it would be 1 BC then 0 the year Christ was born, though I guess the Pope got that wrong by 4-6 years meaning Jesus was born 4-6 BC. I don't know how he was able to be born Before Christ, given that the Pope is infallible.

Best to you,

Pat
