Ab Urbe Condita	comment	Ab urbe condita (related with Anno Urbis Conditae: AUC or a.u.c. or a.u.) is a Latin phrase meaning "from the founding of the City (Ancient Rome)", traditionally dated to 753 BC. AUC is a year-numbering system used by some ancient Roman historians to identify particular Roman years. Renaissance editors sometimes added AUC to Roman manuscripts they published, giving the false impression that the Romans usually numbered their years using the AUC system. In fact, modern historians use AUC much more frequently than the Romans themselves did. The dominant method of identifying Roman years in Roman times was to name the two consuls who held office that year. The regnal year of the emperor was also used to identify years, especially in the Byzantine Empire after 537, when Justinian required its use. Examples of continuous numbering include counting by regnal year, principally found in the writings of German authors, for example Mommsen's History of Rome, and (most ubiquitously) in the Anno Domini year-numbering system. It's a specific subtrope of Alternative Calendar.

Ab Urbe Condita / int_326b260d	comment	Roma Eterna, an Alternate History novel by Robert Silverberg, features a Roman Empire that endures at least until the 20th century. Its chapters are preceded by dates in AUC style (the latest is AUC 2723, that is 1970 AD).

Ab Urbe Condita / int_4879251	comment	Imperator: Rome uses this, starting in 450 AUC, right around the time Rome started to grow in power. This is partly for engine-related issues — negative years/counting downwards can cause problems in Clausewitz (and it needs to have a single universal time, so no 'Year of the Consulship of X'), so AUC is useful in that has a Year One that is in the past from the start date yet is still relatively recognisable to a modern-day audience and is thematically appropriate to the game.

Ab Urbe Condita / int_6873fde2	comment	Doctrine of Labyrinths: Stephen uses the phrase in The Mirador. Presumably he's referring to the founding of Marathat, although given that Rome+Atlantis=Cymellune (and thus Latin likely equals Cymellunar), he may be counting from the founding of Cymellune, in which case the date would probably be in the realm of legend.
