“the city was founded around 200 BCE”

Anyone know how to convert BCE into BC?

There’s no such thing as BCE. That’s just something atheists made up to protest against reality. Just drop the E.

“Drop the “E”!”

I guess that works. Seems to me that we should be doing that.

BCE Before Christ Entered.
BC Before Christ.
Always remind them that our calendar is measured before or After Christ was born (Anno Domini).

A poster on another thread said it means “Before the Christian Era.”

given its river-side location, would have made an efficient transportation hub for merchants.

Maybe a Los Buckees?

"...[T]hey uncovered a plaza surrounded by a portico with craft tiles and chambers which likely served a commercial purpose...."

In a Roman settlement, "chambers serving a commercial purpose" is code for wineries, butcher shops, bakeries, bathhouses and bordellos.
