roman numerals

How do you write December 31, 1 B.C.E. in Roman numerals?

well if it's BC then it was before christ and before the modern dating system. Cause the romans wouldn't have gone - hey its 500 Before Christ - Who's Christ? so they would have had a different dating system if at all. however if you really want to use them the dec is the 12th month so it would be XII and 31 would be XXXI.

It would have been written Prid. Kal. Ian. DCCLIII. The Romans counted there era from the supposed date of the foundation of the city of Rome; the year here would be 753 years after that date. Prid. is the abbreviation of the Latin pridie for ' on the day before' and Kal. is for Kalends which were the 1st of the month, one of the three set days in a month to which dates were counted ( the others were nones and ides ). Ian. is for Ianuarius, January . The date is therefore the day before the kalends of January. They would not normally have bothered but they would formally write A U C ( ab urbe condita 'from the founding of the City) after the year, not BC or BCE.
