MXXV ab urbe condita = AD 272. That definitely falls within the time frame of the Roman Empire. That is not the problem; the problem is that today is December 25 on the Julian calendar. Христос Рождается, славьте Его!
I sign my checks ‘XXXX’. They still go thru. Actually, I write very few checks these days. Makes paying bills the first of the month so much quicker and easier.
If the year is 1025 (presumably ab urbe condita — the year since the traditional founding of Rome in 753 BCE) it is 272 CE. Possible! (If banks had been invented then, which they hadn’t)

Okay, we finally made it to the 21st century. Can we lose the Roman Numerals and Greek Alphabet already?! Please!

Romans used Arabic numbers; it was only the Roman movie producers that used Roman numerals.

That kind of thing is so easy to do. I haven’t written MMXXI on any checks (so far) this year.

Bleeb’s doing some time travel tourism. Hope he got his shots, because there was worse than COVID going around back then.
