Annus is Latin for "year"; anno (in the year) is the form you see most in dates, as in anno 1801.
Annus means year. Most dates use the form anno, in the year, as in anno Domini 1801. Ages are often given with annorum, of years: puer 5 annorum, a boy of 5 years.
In ages at death you may see annorum, mensium and dierum together, years, months and days, which allow a fairly exact birth date to be worked out.
