The simple answer is 1 AD. The main reason for this is that it was the date assigned after the fact. The modern calender was crafted after the events of Christ occurred, so the change was applied skipping zero.
This is what has lead to confusion about the year 2000 not being the start of a new century, but being the end of the last. The new century started with 2001.

What was the year between 1 BC and 1 AD?
1 AD. The historic numbering of years based on the Christian calendar omits any "zero year." The years of events are numbered forward and backward from a single point: midnight on December 31, 1 BC was followed by 12:01 AM on January 1 in 1 AD.
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.
Did AD come before or after BC?
AD followed BC. BC stood for Before Christ, and AD after him (Anno Domini, "year of our lord").Note that this means 1 BC was immediately followed by 1 AD, with no "zero year" between them.
Is the zero century between the first century BC and the first century AD?
There was no year zero century or year zero. 1 AD immediately followed 1 BC. The first century AD immediately followed the first century BC. There was no century between them.
What year did B.C.E. change to C.E.?
AnswerThe year 1 BCE (or BC) was followed by the year 1 CE (or AD). there was no year 0.
What happened in the time period between AD and BC?
Nothing. There was no time period between BC and AD. 1 BC was followed by 1 AD. There was no year zero or any gap between BC and AD.
How many years are there between 25BC to 16AD?
The year 1 BC was immediately followed by the year 1 AD. So from the end of 25 BC to the end of 1 BC was 24 years and from the beginning of 1 AD to the beginning of 16 AD was 15 years. So the number of years between the 25 BC and 16 BC = 24 + 15 = 39 years.
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.
What year came after BC?
1 AD. The historic numbering of years based on the Christian calendar omits any "zero year." The years of events are numbered forward and backward from a single point: midnight on December 31, 1 BC was followed by 12:01 AM on January 1 in 1 AD.

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 was the first year in BC?
There is no certain answer that everyone can agree on.
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.
