CE/c.e. = Common/Current/Christian Era.Another way of indicating the same period is

AD,the traditional calendar era, Anno Domini .

BCE/b.c.e. =Before the Common/Current/Christian Era (an alternative to Before Christ, abbreviated BC).

The two notations (CE/BCE and AD/BC) are equivalent; thus «2013 CE» = «AD 2013» and

«399 BCE» = «399 BC».
