2000 years ago is referred to as approximately the beginning of the 1st century AD (Anno Domini) or CE (Common Era).
Here's a breakdown for better understanding:
-
Time Period: The period around 2000 years ago falls within the early part of the Common Era.
-
Calendar Systems: We use AD/CE to denote years after the traditionally calculated year of Jesus Christ's birth. 2000 years ago would be close to the start of the AD/CE system.
-
Historical Context: This era corresponds roughly with the Roman Empire's height of power.
Therefore, "2000 years ago" describes the time near the beginning of the 1st century AD/CE.
