“By combining new technology with more traditional methods, we can describe Pompeii in greater detail and more accurately than was previously possible,” said co-author Dr. Nicolo Dell’Unto, a digital archaeologist at Lund University.
Among other things, the archaeologists uncovered floor surfaces from 79 CE, performed detailed studies of the building development through history, cleaned and documented three large wealthy estates, a tavern, a laundry, a bakery and several gardens.
In one garden, they discovered that some of the taps to a stunning fountain were on at the time of eruption — the water was still gushing when the rain of ash and pumice fell over Pompeii. They occasionally also found completely untouched layers.
In a shop were three, amazingly enough, intact windows — made out of translucent crystalline gypsum — from Ancient Rome, stacked against each other.

From you and others here, I would say it is all about your religious beliefs.
“This dating system was devised in 525 by Dionysius Exiguus of Scythia Minor, but was not widely used until after 800.”
Who was running (controlling) the world then? The Roman Catholic Church.
Again, it is about Religious beliefs.
You’re trolling the wrong website, pal.

Supporting them would be platoons of slaves & hired hands.
Our home-owner was a banker not of noble birth, but prosperous:
Of course, what most people don't know is that this ancient Roman banker was the direct ancestor of a notorious British banco player, whose name can't be revealed, but is sometimes known by the numbers 0 0 7:

I am not trolling anything. I am a conservative member here, for awhile pal.
What is “the Common Era?”
This is how I read it also. Even if the Christian-hating left changed the letters to BE or SE, we would still know tht the event that marks the change from before to after is the birth of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
What is “the Common Era?”
_______________________________
The Common Era begins with year 1 in the Gregorian calendar.
Tell us more about the Roman Catholic Church.
Why was that year picked, and how is that common?
All they wanted was to watch the races at the Circus Maximus and the Senate Channel, but were forced to subsidize the bundled Coliseum, too.
