Apparently it’s NOT canonical. Just checked Wikpedia (yes, I know) and dates given as

Roman and Byzantine Egypt 30 BC–641 AD

Maybe you’re playing with the religious aspect of the dates and trying to make a point that’s on the edge? My only interest in BC and AD is tradition. I see no reason for today’s social scientists to try to get the historical religious information out as if it didn’t exist, so I refuse to use the new BCE. But I see no reason to emphasize anything religious in dating. It’s historical to me only. Nothing about religion.

Wikpedia is incorrect.
