    A calendar era is the period of time elapsed since one epoch of a calendar and, if it exists,
    before the next one.[1] For example, the Gregorian calendar numbers its years in the Western
    Christian era (the Coptic Orthodox and Ethiopian Orthodox churches have their own Christian
    eras).

    In antiquity, regnal years were counted from the accession of a monarch. This makes the
    Chronology of the ancient Near East very difficult to reconstruct, based on disparate and
    scattered king lists, such as the Sumerian King List and the Babylonian Canon of Kings. In East
    Asia, reckoning by era names chosen by ruling monarchs ceased in the 20th century except for
    Japan, where they are still used.

    Christian era

     The Etos Kosmou of the Byzantine Calendar places Creation at the beginning of its year
    1, namely 5509 BC. Its first known use occurred in the 7th century AD, although its
    precursors were developed about AD 400. The year 7509 of this era began in September
    2000.
     The Era of Martyrs or Era of Diocletian is reckoned from the beginning of the reign of
    Roman Emperor Diocletian; the first year of this era was 284/5. It was not the custom to
    use regnal years in Rome, but it was the custom in Roman Egypt, which the emperor
    ruled through a prefect (the king of Egypt). The year number changed on the first day of
    the Egyptian month Thoth (29 August three years out of four, 30 August the year before a
    Roman leap year.) Diocletian abolished the special status of Egypt, which thereafter
    followed the normal Roman calendar: consular years beginning on 1 January. This era
    was used in the Easter tables prepared in Alexandria long after the abdication of
    Diocletian, even though Diocletian was a notorious persecutor of Christians. The Era of
    Diocletian was retained by the Coptic Church and used for general purposes, but by 643
    the name had been changed to Era of the Martyrs.[4]:766–7
     The Incarnation Era is used by Ethiopia. Its epoch is 29 August, AD 8 in the Julian
    calendar.
     The Armenian calendar has its era fixed at AD 552.
