Why did the Roman calendar start over when Jesus died?
The Roman calendar was traditionally restarted from the date of the reign of each new emperor, but by the sixth century, it was based on the reign of Emperor Tiberius (14-37 CE). However the Roman abbot Dionysus Exiguus disliked Christians using a calendar based on the reign of a non-Christian emperor. He wanted to begin his calendar on the birth, rather than the death of Jesus, but knew that it was impossible to say when Jesus was born. He knew, or thought he knew, when Herod died, so he chose to begin his Christian calendar on the year of Herod's death, and he based this on the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus. Unaware that Augustus only adopted that name four years after his reign began, going by his birth name of Octavius until then, Exiguus commenced his calendar just 4 years too late.

So, he chose to begin his Christian calendar on the year of Herod's death, and he based this on the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus.

Why do you base the year on Jesus Christ?
The Roman abbot Dionysus Exiguus devised the new Christian calendar in 533. He knew that it was impossible to say when Jesus was born, but he knew, or thought he knew, when Herod died. So, he chose to begin his Christian calendar on the year of Herod's death, and he based this on the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus. Unaware that Augustus only adopted that name four years after his reign began, going by his birth name of Octavius until then, Exiguus commenced his calendar just 4 years too late.The calendar is not strictly speaking based on Jesus, but on King Herod, whose death was the nearest date that Dionysus felt he could establish. Partly in recognition of this, it is now common the refer to years as 'CE' (Common Era) rather than 'AD' ( erroneously: the year of our Lord).
