[[Image:Edwards Crown.png|thumb|right|121x163px]]Most calendar systems are based on the phases of the moon and the rotation of the Earth. However, significant events were often factors in dating systems. For example, the birth of Christ divides our own calendar into B.C. (Before Christ) and A.D. (Anno Domini) (sometimes restated as B.C.E. (Before Common Era) and C.E. (Common Era). Some ancient cultures calculated their dating systems by the rule of a monarch ("In the tenth year of the reign of King ___"). This calendering system is known as "Regnal Years" (from the Latin, regnum or rule/kingdom). Regnal years began the date of the monarch's accession to the throne until the same date in the next calendar year. Thus an event occurring on 15 Dec 1703, would be the second regnal year of Queen Anne who acceded to the throne on March 8, 1702. Regnal years were common in Asian cultures. | [[Image:Edwards Crown.png|thumb|right|121x163px]]Most calendar systems are based on the phases of the moon and the rotation of the Earth.
