Time and the Calendar Throughout the world different systems have been used to mark the passage of time, but it has been common for cultures to count the passing of years from a specific event in their past. Ancient Greeks counted years from the first Olympic Games (776 B.C.) Romans based their calendar on the founding year of Rome (traditionally 753 B.C.). The Jewish calendar starts from their idea of when the world was created (3760 B.C.). The Muslim calendar begins with the the migration of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina in A.D. 622. A monk called Dionysius Exiguus (early sixth century A.D.) invented the dating system most widely used in the Western world. For Dionysius, the birth of Christ represented Year One. This system was adopted with years expressed as either B.C. (Before Christ) or A.D. (Anno Domini—”The Year of Our Lord”). The abbreviations BCE (before the common era) and CE (common era) are sometimes used.
