A time bar is an arrow used to depict a specific period of time. A single date within this period can be associated with a certain event and the distance between two dates with an interval, like an epoch.
A time bar is usually divided into intervals that form a scale, but it should at least have categories. Additional applications are possible: For example, a time bar may be used to visualise an author's backward time references and his outlook on the future.

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or bar:
“Her heavenly form
Angelic, but more soft and feminine,
Her graceful innocence, her every air
Of gesture or least action, overawed
His malice, and with rapine sweet bereaved
His fierceness of the fierce intent it brought.
That space of Evil One abstracted stood
From his own evil, and for the time remained
Stupidly good, of enmity disarmed,”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“Personally, I can’t see why it would be any less romantic to find a husband in a nice four-color catalogue than in the average downtown bar at happy hour.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
