No. The AD system was INVENTED in 525 by Dionysius Exiguus, though it wasn't much used before the 8th century. Nobody is quite sure what Dionysius based his calculations on, but he was trying to date the Christian Era from the Birth (or possibly the conception) of Christ. What is certain is that he got it wrong. Jesus was born at some date between 12 and 4 BC. Fopr more detail, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_Domini.
No. The common belief that Jesus was born on the year 1 is the result of an innocent mistake made in 533 by the Roman abbot Dionysus Exiguus. He knew that it was impossible to say when Jesus was born, but he knew, or thought he knew, when Herod died. So, he devised the new Christian calendar to begin on the year of Herod's death.
He based the date of Herod's death on the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus, but was unaware that Augustus only adopted that name four years after his reign began, going by his birth name of Octavius until then. So, Exiguus commenced his calendar just 4 years later than he really intended.Even then, it would be an improbable coincidence for Jesus to be born on exactly the same year as Herod died. So, we can only say that the first year AD was later than Christ's birth.
ANNO DOMINI Year of Christs birth is year 1. it does not mean AFTER DEATH as many think.
Augustus Caesar, the first emperor.
I am not sure actually, I don't think that elizabeth is mentioned in the story of Christs birth at all... maybe you should read the bible, in mathew, mark, luke, john, the new testament.
AD started as soon as Jesus was born. It is actually Latin for 'after birth' and BC is Latin for 'Before Christ'. It just happens that they are the same letters and AD is not. It is a very common mistake for people to think AD started after Jesus died. But, think about it. If BC ended after he was born because it would no longer be before Christ, and AD started after he died, there would be some years missing in time for when he was living.In Latin, AD stands for Anno Domini which translates to "year of our lord." It it supposed to start counting from the birth of Jesus.
It started in 700 AD and finished 1100 AD.
