I am trying not to be a pain here, David.

B.C. should be after the date, A.D. before. As an example, Ovid, who straddled the millennia (among other things) is usually introduced in reference books as having lived "43 BC - c. AD 11" To explain; think of it as an English sentence: "Ovid lived from the year 43 before Christ to about the year of our Lord 11."

Opps, you're right of course--thanks for catching that. Somewhere in the back of my mind I think I knew that, but I know I've seen it after, which may be why I did that wrong. Anyway, you're not being a pain--thanks for error checking! --David B ^(TALK) 22:49, 12 October 2016 (EDT)

I have a sneaking suspicion I have misplaced A.D. myself. Usually because I have written the date then decided, because it is only a century or two post Christianity, I had better nail it down, then forgotten to put it in front of the date.

Actually, I try not to use it unless I have to.
