Ante Christum Natum

Ante Christum (Natum) is also an album by the band Shadows Land Ante Christum Natum (Latin for Before Christ (was) Born), usually abbreviated to A.C.N., a.C.n., a.Ch.n. or ACN, denotes the years before the birth of Jesus Christ. It is the modern Latin equivalent to the English term B.C. (Before Christ) and B.C.E. (Before Common Era). The phrase Ante Christum Natum is also seen as the shorter Ante Christum (Latin for Before Christ), again usually abbreviated to A.C. or AC. A related term, p.Ch.n or post Christum natum complements a.Ch.n and is equivalent to Anno Domini.
