Marshall,
Take a look at
http://static.simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/scripts/labellers.js
You need to make a copy of the function
Timeline.GregorianDateLabeller.prototype.defaultLabelInterval =
function(date, intervalUnit) {
...
}
Put it in <script> ... </script> after you include timeline-api.js, and
then replace "BC" with "BCE" in that code.
Cheers,
David
