 THE FALL OF ROME'S REPUBLIC [Free Republic]
Instead, he sent her to an island prison from which she was never to return, and he spoke of her as a disease of his flesh.
The simple fact is that "BCE" is correct (by definition) and "BC" is incorrect (we know for a fact that King Herod died in 4 BCE; ergo "BC" dates are at least four years off).
However, when I first started to see BCE in the 70's it was said to stand for "Before the Common Era" (of course the Common Era began with Christ's birth so they'll never be able to erase that fact).

These tribes formed an immediate threat to every state in the region until they were defeated by Pergamum, and thereafter settled in the province which took their collective name, "Land of the Gauls".

 ACTA ACCLA - The Curious Koson Stater by Ken Friedman
No other coins issued before the mid-1st Century BCE depicts a Roman magistrate walking between lictors, and certainly this was a Roman, not a Greek theme.
This has led many commentators to believe that the stater was minted for Brutus to coin gold bullion that would be used in his efforts to recruit troops and it certainly seems plausible.
In a particularly soaring flight of fancy, one might even stretch to wonder whether the celator engraving this coin simply mistook this coin as his model when it was intended that he use the eagle on the denarius of Brutus' co-conspirator tyrannicide (or liberator) Q. Cassius Longinus (Cr.

 Historical Background for Spartacus
The Alps were now open to the rebels, but again the Gauls and Germans refused to go, so Spartacus returned to southern Italy, perhaps intending to ship to Sicily.
In the autumn, when the revolt was at its height and Spartacus had about 120,000 followers, the Senate voted to pass over the consuls and grant imperium to Marcus Licinius Crassus, who had been a praetor in 73 B.C. but currently held no office.
Crassus was the wealthiest man in Rome, a noble from an old plebeian family; since he had received very little support from the conservative nobles who dominated the Senate, he had allied himself with the faction of the populares.
