Question
A battle that, according to an ancient Greek historian, took place 2,490 years ago would have a date followed by which designation?BPADDCEBCEAC
Solution
The battle would have a date followed by the designation "BCE". This stands for "Before Common Era", which is used to date events before the birth of Jesus Christ, the starting point of the Gregorian calendar. So, a battle that took place 2,490 years ago from now (2022) would have happened in the year 468 BCE.
