And while the years were supposedly centered around the birth of Jesus, it should be noted that Dionysus Exiguus at the very least, got the date wrong, since King Herod, who supposedly heard of Jesus’ birth and killed all babies in the area (which didn’t happen IRL, but it is part of the lore and Herod the Great was a nasty enough piece of work it’s not too out of character for him) died four years before Jesus was supposedly born, so it’s off by at least four years!
by the way, Lamarck knew about evolution before Darwin
So it’s really not a Christian calendar after all!
Roman and Scandinavian gods BC this is interesting
in the Slavic calendar before Christianization there were popular names of the months
