TIMELINE INFORMATION
The red margin line on the back of a sheet is good to use for the line.
Write year # in margin & event on other side of line, for example
Example: 300BC| Celts called Brythons occupied the islands
Use one space for 50 years. You will need 26 spaces for all 1300 years.
The first mark on the left (start) should be marked 300 BC. Count down to 0 by 50s, then up to 1000 AD by 50s.
BC means Before Christ (new name is BCE, meaning Before the Common Era).
AD means Anno Domini, Latin for "In the year of our Lord." To remember what it means some call it After Death (of Christ).
