What evidence is there that the year before 1 ad was 1 bc?
It is not about evidence. It is basic mathematics. There was no year zero. Zero is nothing, so you cannot give it as a value to anything. A year is something, so it cannot be numbered zero. After 1 BC came 1 AD not Zero. It is just like the last day of one month is immediately followed by the first day of the next month. There is no day zero in between. In the same way, there was no year zero between 1 BC and 1 AD. So basic mathematics and common sense will tell you that after 1 BC came 1 AD.
Is 2 BC older than 1 BC?
Yes 1 BC was the last year until AD started.
How do you compute the difference between the year BC to AD?
Add the two year values together and subtract 1, to allow for the fact that there was no year zero. So from 1 BC to 1 AD is 1 year. 1 + 1 - 1 = 1. From 10 BC to 40 AD is 49. 10 + 40 - 1 = 49.
What was the year before 2 million BC?
2,000,001 BC(2 million and 1 year BC) - 'Before' means further back in time.
What year was it in the second century bc?
199 to 100bc The first year of the 2nd century BC was 200 BC, and the last year was 101 BC.
What was the year before year 1?
The year 1 BC.
What came before 1500 bc or 753 bc?
1500 bc came before 753 bc. Year numbers go down in "bc", where the next year has a lower number than the previous year all the way to 1 bc. The year after 1 bc is 1 ad. To give an example, a tree that sprouted in 1500 bc would be about 753 years older by 753 bc and about 1500 years older by year 1 bc. On 1 ad, it would be 1501 years old.
What year comes after 1 bc?
It is: 99 BC
What was the period in time between BC and AD called?
There was no period between BC and AD. One followed the other. After 1 BC was the year 1 AD. There was no year zero or anything else between BC and AD. BC is Before Christ. AD is Anno Domini, the time of Our Lord, so basically from when he was born. So there is no time period in between before he was born and when he was born.
Was year 1 actually a year?
yes. in AD 1 and 1 BC
What evidence is there that the year before 1 ad was 1 bc?

Is 2 BC older than 1 BC?
Yes 1 BC was the last year until AD started.
What century is 99BC?
The year 99BC, as with any year between 1 BC and 100 BC, fell in the first century BC.
How do you compute the difference between the year BC to AD?
Add the two year values together and subtract 1, to allow for the fact that there was no year zero. So from 1 BC to 1 AD is 1 year. 1 + 1 - 1 = 1. From 10 BC to 40 AD is 49. 10 + 40 - 1 = 49.
What year comes before 1 BC?
