You do realize that we could debate this until the cows come home right?? *L* Just thought I'd throw that in... but since I'm procrastinating before doing my property law assignment anyway...
I'd agree with your theory on dates but for one thing. From what I understand of your theory, you're saying that Dante destroyed "Rome" approx 1517 and as this is 400 years later, that would make present day approx September 2nd, 1916.
Problem is, the FMA world no longer operates on the A.D. calendar. When Ed read that letter from Hoenheim to Dante, Izumi-sensei mentioned that the date was based on the birth of Christ and was no longer in use. She also concludes from this that the letter is at least 400 years old. Which would mean that the A.D. calendar has been redundant for at least 400 years. In essence, this would imply that the events of September 2, 1916 A.D. is an event of the past, not the present date
