Ancient history

What does CE stand for in the year 140 CE?

The abbreviation CE stands for "Common Era". It is used to designate years according to the Gregorian calendar, which is the most widely used calendar in the world today. The term CE is often used in place of AD, which stands for "Anno Domini" (Latin for "in the year of the Lord"). The year 140 CE therefore refers to the year 140 according to the Gregorian calendar.
