Template:Century BC

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

Provides a tooltip including the date range for centuries BC. For example:

Antisthenes was born in the 5th century BC.

Works with five different formats:

• {{century BC|24}}

24th

• {{century BC|24th}}

24th century BC

• {{century BC|24th-}}

24th-century BC

• {{century BC|twenty-fourth}}

twenty-fourth century BC

• {{century BC|Twenty-fourth}}

Twenty-fourth century BC

This will go back as far as the 40th century BC, beyond which it will stop working. It could trivially be expanded.
