Quote:Systems of dating before B.C./A.D. was fully adopted were often based on significant events, political leaders and a well-kept chronology of the order in which they ruled. For example, the Romans generally described years based on who was consul, or by counting from the founding of the city of Rome.
Consulships tended to last 2 years with 2 consuls at a time. There can be some difficulty, however, because it was common for the same people to hold the consul positions multiple times.
