"A.C."-'Ante Christum' meaning 'Before Christ'.<br />Since referencing historic dates (before AD) wasn't widespread until the 17th century, 'a.C.n.' nor A.A.C. nor A.C. were ever in common use, probably simply to introduce a common reference, BC came to be used instead as it meant essentially the same thing as the other three.Farneymanhttp://farneyman.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34645388.post-49477631716266222482015-05-08T02:45:27.706+10:002015-05-08T02:45:27.706+10:00I would like to visit this market!
