"AD" (anno Domini) is used as either a prefix or suffix that is placed either immediately before or after any year from the year 1 onward (ex. January 1, 2010 AD or January 1, AD 2010).

"BC" (before Christ) is used as only a suffix that is placed after any year before the year 1 (ex. January 1, 2010 BC).

So the years between 30 BC and AD 30 are... 29 BC, 28 BC, 27 BC, ..., 2 BC, 1 BC, AD1, AD 2, ..., AD 27, AD 28, AD 29 29 BC through 1 BC is 29 years, and AD 1 through AD 29 is 29 years. 29 years + 29 years = 58 years
