In 55 B.C. Julius Caesar invaded Britain. Due to civil war in Rome it wasn't until 43 A.D. that Roman emperor Cladius I conquered all the island but Scotland. According to my sources the Romans never did end up conquering Scotland. So if the first two dates weren't what you were looking for then the only other correct answer would be that they never conquered Britain since they couldn't defeat the Scotsmen.

After Christ..

But the fun thing is that the information I got was 122 AC..

But when I check up on other things that couldn't have been possible, but still some informations tells me that it was 122 AC.

So I cannot do anything then follow the information I got.

Anyways, I cannot do more about the information and the question I gave you all. But now it comes a tricky new question to all of you..

NEW

When did the HIV virus get identified?

AUC = ab urbe condita "from the founding of the city(Rome)" 1 AUC is 753 BC

AD = Anno Domini "the year of our lord" The current year is 2004 AD

BC = Before Christ as in Caesar invaded in 55 BC

CE = same thing as AD museums prefer CE over AD for the sake of getting religion out of our dating system

BCE = same thing as BC and once again the museums use this instead of BC for the same reason

Now is the rest of the world using some time designation the Americans are not aware of or what?
