* ''TabletopGame/LexArcana'' is set in an AlternateHistory where the Romans have mastered divination magic and used it to prevent the collapse of their Empire. The game uses AUC reckoning, e.g. the eponymous "arcane law" is passed by the Senate in 1229 AUC (476 CE, the year when the real Rome fell to barbarians). Since the Roman Republic is long gone, the "year of consuls" notation is obviously obsolete, but it is never explicitly addressed why the "year of emperor" is not used instead.

The dominant method of identifying Roman years in Roman times was to name the two consuls who held office that year. The regnal year of the emperor was also used to identify years, especially in the Byzantine Empire after 537, when Justinian required its use. Examples of continuous numbering include counting by regnal year, principally found in the writings of German authors, for example ''Mommsen's History of Rome'', and (most ubiquitously) in the Anno Domini year-numbering system.
