BCE and CE dates in Timelines by Mohammad

I am trying to use the Timelines plugin to display a sequence of events that have dates that include BCE and CE.

Examples:

43 BCE
35/36 CE (i.e. 35 or 36)
120 CE
170-190 CE (i.e. between 170 and 190)

I would like to use the layout of the Vertical Timeline in the plugin as it has a straight line. Of course, I could use some ‘dummy’ dates to get the sequence correct, but then I would need to hide them and display my “120 CE” format, for example.

Ideas anyone?
