Ah. Odd... in all the years I've studied Spanish, I didn't know how to say
"A.D." and "B.C." in it.
For trivia's sake, I looked through a couple of dictionaries to find AD/BC in a few natlangs: 

Italian:
d.C. - AD - doppo Cristo
a.C. - BC - ante Cristo

Irish:
I.C. - AD - iar-Chríost
R.Ch. - BC roimh Chríost

German:
n. Chr. - AD - nach Christus
v. Chr. - BC - vor Christus

Welsh
O.C. - Ad - Oed Crist
C.C. - BC - Cyn Crist
AFAICT, only English uses the abbreviation "AD" from Latin "anno Domini". Anyone more for any more?
