-If you specify month without a date, the event will point roughly to the middle of that month, a moment between 15th and 16th day of that month (see the picture below). In general, when event is pointing to a moment between days, that shows that we don't know the date precisely, and the positions of events on the timeline should not be taken literally in such cases.

 To specify that a year is BC/BCE use the minus sign. Note, that the minus should go before the year, not entire date. For example: <code>03.15.-44</code> is correct, and <code>-03.15.44</code> is not. Also note that even though we use the minus sign, we don’t use the astronomical year numbering system where year Zero corresponds to 1 BC, year -1 to year 2 BC and so on. There is no year Zero on the Timeline, and minus simply means BC. For example, year -44 is year 44 BC.
