how is "475-221 B.C." read out?

Question

do I say "from 475 to 221 B.C."?

Answer 1

Yes, you say "from 475 to 221 B.C."

Answer 2

You read it 475 -221 BC

Answer 3

Yes. "Between 475 and 221 BC" would also be acceptable, as would "From four hundred and seventy five to two hundred and twenty one years before Christ".

Answer 4

It depends on whether you recognize Christ.

I would read it "the years from four-hundred and seventy-five until two-hundred and twenty-one Before Christ".

Someone else might chose to read it as "the years from four-hundred and seventy-five until two-hundred and twenty-one Before the Common Era".

The Common era (also known as the Christian era or the Current era, abbreviated to CE) is the period of measured time beginning with the year 1 on the Gregorian calendar. The notations CE and BCE (Before the Common Era) are alternative notations for AD (anno Domini, Latin for "in the year of (Our) Lord[1]") and BC (Before Christ), respectively. The CE/BCE system of notation is chronologically equivalent to dates in the AD/BC system, i.e. no change in numbering is used and neither includes a year zero. The abbreviations may also be written C.E. and B.C.E.
