Anno Societatis is Latin for "year of the Society." It is usually abbreviated A.S. and sometimes AS, and comes before the number of the year which is usually written in Roman numerals. Thus the first year of Anno Societatis is usually written as A.S. I. The SCA year begins on May 1 to recognize The First Tournament of May 1, 1966 (May 1 A.S. I) when the SCA began.

This means that the number of the SCA year does not correspond one-to-one to the Common Era year. The C.E. year begins on Jan. 1, but the C.E. year begins on May 1.

Examples 1: May 1, A.S. I, is May 1, 1966. C.E. But Jan. 1, A.S. I, is Jan. 1, 1967 C.E. The Anno Societatis calendar is in the same year, but the Common Era calendar year has changed.

Example 2: April 30, 2017 C.E. is April 30, A.S. LI. But May 1, 2017 C.E. is May 1, A.S. LII. The Common Era calendar is in the same year, but the Anno Societatis calendar year has changed.
