CE (Common Era) and BCE (Before the Common Era) are alternative names for AD (Anno Domini) and BC (Before Christ) in the Gregorian international standard calendar-year system. CE/BCE are preferred in an international context because they are neutral with respect to religion. The numbering of calendar years is the same under both terminologies. The CE began in year AD 1 and extends to the present day. (English)
