::My argument above is both forms are equally secular—that is to say, mostly secular. <span style="border-radius:2px;padding:3px;background:#1E816F">[[User:Remsense|<span style="color:#fff">'''Remsense'''</span>]]<span style="color:#fff"> ‥ </span>[[User talk:Remsense|<span lang="zh" style="color:#fff">'''诉'''</span>]]</span> 18:48, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
::[[user:PericlesofAthens]], there are books using both forms, e.g. "Romulus founded Rome in 753 BC/1AuC". Mommsen comes to mind. [[User:Barjimoa|Barjimoa]] ([[User talk:Barjimoa|talk]]) 18:59, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
:::Aye! Many Roman books I read do that, ditto with the Hijri calendar. I think we should maybe consider showing some dates using both systems in a consistent way more often, since it does genuinely help a little bit—at least AH does for me since I'm slightly less situated reading about early Islamic history than early Roman history, but that should tell us something about what average readers might get out of it. It genuinely helps to have a sense of proximate epoch. <span style="border-radius:2px;padding:3px;background:#1E816F">[[User:Remsense|<span style="color:#fff">'''Remsense'''</span>]]<span style="color:#fff"> ‥ </span>[[User talk:Remsense|<span lang="zh" style="color:#fff">'''诉'''</span>]]</span> 19:03, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
:'''Support''' the article uses grammatically incorrect forms of BC/AD which would make much more sense if it used BCE/CE [[User:Garflasange|Garflasange]] ([[User talk:Garflasange|talk]]) 18:46, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
