How did Romans record the passing years?

Quote:So the AUC version that we tend toward these days (I think this is 2761) is a later convention? Or entirely imaginary?
It was used by scholars like (I think) Livy. It may be a superior system, but consul years worked OK for the Romans!

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
