Aug 06, 2010 In the last post, I made some analysis of Gygax's Dungeon Geomorphs product. I've also been playing around recently with AD&D DMG Appendix A: Random Dungeon Generation. Let's use the insights to the former product to fill in some of the hidden assumptions in the latter.

A.D.
or AD,
1. in the year of the Lord; since Christ was born: Charlemagne was born ina.d.742.
2. assembly district.
usage: The abbreviation a.d. was orig. placed before a date and is still usu. preferred in edited writing: The Roman conquest of Britain began in a.d.43 (or, sometimes, began a.d.43). The abbreviation b.c. (before Christ) is always placed after a date: Caesar was assassinated in 44 b.c. But by analogy with the position of b.c., a.d. is frequently found after the date in all types of writing: Claudius I lived from 10 b.c.to 54 a.d. This abbreviation may also designate centuries, being placed after the century specified: the second century a.d. Some writers prefer to use c.e. (Common Era) and b.c.e. (Before the Common Era) to avoid the religious overtones of a.d. and b.c.

Adverb[edit]
AD
- (often punctuated)Initialism of anno Domini(borrowed from Latin); in the year of our Lord.
- They had a vibrant culture from the 3rd century BC to the 2nd century AD.
Usage notes[edit]
- The initialism is used to specify numbered years counting from the once estimated birth of Christ in year 1.
- The Chicago Manual of Style, as well as most house styles, requires placing AD before the number of the year and BC after, although in casual use either abbreviation can be found in either place. It is placed after centuries. It is often printed in small caps.
- Some use CE, for 'Common Era', which is more secular in nature, to avoid potential Christian bias.
- 'AD' is not normally used in expressions like 'in the year AD 1990', since in such a year it is taken for granted (and it is also redundant, literally meaning 'in the year in the year of our Lord 1990'). In 'Vesuvius erupted in AD 79', it is expected.
