That will be in 2017, because there was no year 0. The year 1 BCE was the 383rd anniversary, the year 1 CE was the 384th, the year 16 CE was therefore the 399th, and the year 2016 CE is the 2,399th anniversary year.Brian W.

I spent many months researching what we know of Aristotle and his contemporaries for my novel The Scribe of the Soul, which should be available from amazon on Kindle and in book form in a fortnight's time, published by The Conrad Press. Its protagonist is Herpyllis, a woman for whom Aristotle made generous provision in his will but about whom nothing else is known. In my novel, her life is shaped and marked by him and by his famous pupil, Alexander the Great. As for where the great philosopher ended up, I finally plumped for his ashes having been buried in Stagira in a fine building called the Aristoteleion, which replaced the stoa where the magistrates met - not where Kostas Sismanidis claims to have discovered it. I don't suppose we will ever know the truth of it.Pat Marshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15517151851319701587noreply@blogger.com
