Why was this era used?

Why did Christians date from the beginning of Diocletian’s reign and not for example from Constantine’s reign? Was this era introduced by pagans (and if so when and by whom) or was it a Christian thing? -- 2A02:3030:60F:5A8C:188F:5C13:129A:956A (talk) 07:06, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
