what century was 460 BCE–370 BCE
The century that corresponds to the years 460 BCE-370 BCE is the 5th century BCE.
To determine the century of a BCE (Before Common Era) period, we need to convert it into the CE (Common Era) system. Here's how you can do that:
1. BCE (Before Common Era) counts backwards, so the smaller the number, the further in the past it is.
2. To convert BCE to CE, subtract the given year from 1 (or the next year in BCE) and add 1 to the result.
For the given period of 460 BCE- 370 BCE, we can convert it step by step:
1. For the starting year, 460 BCE:
- Subtract it from 1: 1 - 460 = -459
- Add 1 to the result: -459 + 1 = -458 CE
2. For the ending year, 370 BCE:
- Subtract it from 1: 1 - 370 = -369
- Add 1 to the result: -369 + 1 = -368 CE
Thus, the period 460 BCE to 370 BCE corresponds to the period of the 5th century BCE (-458 CE to -368 CE).
