66-70 CE?? Christian Era?

Sometimes "CE" is meant that way, but more often it's "Common Era." I wouldn't be surprised to see this usage at Haaretz.

CE = “Common Era,” and BCE = “Before the Common Era”

It’s a weak attempt to conceal the fact that the dividing line is (a guess at) the date of the birth of Jesus.

66-70 means they got the thing built just in time for the Romans’ destruction of Jerusalem and mass deportations after the first Jewish Revolt.

CE is Common Era, as you probably well know.

CE is the PC replacement for AD.
