Julius Caesar is set in 44 B.C.How many years ago was that?

please help me


give me the answer


thanks

Julius Caesar is set in 44 B.C.How many years ago was that?
B.C. stands for Before Christ. Since our calendar started with the birth of Christ, this means that Christ was born 2,008 years ago. Add the 44 years before he was born (B.C.): 2,008 + 44 = 2,052.





Good luck.
Reply:We're in the year 2008 AD. BC years count downward (10-9-8-7-6, etc.). The dividing line is BC/AD. So, we've 2008yrs. plus 44 more years. Get it?
Reply:about 2052 years ago
Reply:I believe there is supposed to be a difference of 40 years between 1BC and 1 AD. If you count that, it should be 2092 years back.


It needs to be confirmed.


Another factor is a concept of zero year between 1 BC and 1 AD. This will add one year, so to be accurate, if not 40 years, at least one year needs to be added. Then it becomes 2053 years.





Hope it helps.


Good luck!
