DATES IN ART HISTORY

When we start out at the very beginning, prehistory, it is unwritten. There was no record keeping and no way of  keeping track of time yet, time still exists. When you attach a year to an event or try to time stamp an era, we will use BCE or CE. BCE means "Before Common Era" and CE means "Common Era." You may also know these terms, respectively, the same as BC and AD. BC refers to "Before Christ" and AD refers to "Anno Domini", which means "the year of our Lord." These are Christian terms and because we are looking at the world's history not the history of Christians, it is more inclusive and correct to use the terms BCE and CE. When you're writing dates, it is imperative that you write BCE if you're referring to anything before the year 1. It is not necessary to write CE, except when you mean to be perfectly clear. This will happen often at the turn such as during the Ancient Roman era. Another example, if you mean to write 1333 BCE during the Egyptian Armarna period and you leave off BCE, you're writing 1333, which is during the Renaissance. BIG difference. 

The second most confusing part of dates is centuries. For example, the year 734 is in the 8th century, the year 2016 is in the 21st century. This is because the year 1-99 is our first set of one hundred years, therefore it is the 1st century. The years 100-199 is in the second set of 100 years (2nd century), and so on. There is no year zero. So, you can see that the years before 1 is before the common era and as we move closer to the present day, it is more towards the common era.

CRITICAL DATES

This list of dates is a very general assigned year that is meant to help students place major time periods on a timeline. They have been determined by major events during that time and/or are near the start or during the high point of that era. For example, the Carolingian critical date is 800 because Charlemagne, King of the Franks, was crowned in that year.
