If we counted the years from 753BC (the founding of Rome) like the Romans did, then it would be the year 2,777. (self.casualconversation)

I just saw a video about BC/AD as opposed to BCE/CE and the invention of the Gregorian calendar and I wondered what year it would be if we counted the years like the Romans did.

In my mode of timing, I personally use the year 4241 BC as my 1 AD as it's the first year of recorded history. It's not nationalistic and is something that can be traced back to with precision.

So 6275?

Do we use AD?

Yes, the year right now would be 6265 AR (AR stands for After Records).
