Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Probably yes. Dionysius Exiguus invented numbering years since the supposed birth of Christ, instead of counted by era of Roman consuls. So by 1066 the practice would have been common throughout Christian Europe. The only doubts I have are around the introduction of the Gregorian Calendar later, and whether the 14 October 1066 would be counted as the 14 October 1066 in their system. But I think the year would be right.
