Biblical tables . h was seldom exempt from suf- fering because of any condition in the Romanempire, either of prosperity or adversity. Thiswill be apparent by an examination of the table. the christian this era is represented on the tableas commencing A. M. 4000, it has been discoveredthat the true date would have been A. M. 4004,so that, in order that the correct dates of all theevents anterior to the Christian era should beobtained, it will be necessary to bear this fact inmind. The use of the epoch of the birth of ourSaviour was first introduced by a Roman monk,Dionysius Exiguns, in the year 527, but wasnot universally adopted by Christian nations fornearly nine hundred years. The common era isat fault equally with that before the birth ofChrist, and this error of four years is attributedto the monk, but more properly to the lack ofaccurate knowledge of chronology at the timeamong all, and because of which error all thedates were written four years less than thecorrect number.
