  6. Often, the letter “C” will appear before the date on a time line. This “c” stands for the word circa which means “around”. This notation is used when the exact date is not known.

  10. When an event is said to have happened in the 6th century (or even the 6th century BCE), the years in which the event could have occurred are between 500 – 599 (or 500 – 599 BCE). 1 CE 500 – 599 CE 599 – 500 BCE
