“Apostolic Age ends - 100”

Just curious why the Apostolic age is said to have ended then? I mean, don’t Catholics still believe in Apostolic Sucession from St. Peter?

The succession is uninterrupted, but with the death of St. John, circa AD 100, the faith the Holy Apostles received directly form Christ had to be explained and propagated through the episcopacy.
