Different people used different systems. The Romans, for example, said The first year of Vespasian to refer to the first year when Vespasian was the emperor. Or they just used their own calender, like the Korean calender started long before the AD/BC calender, so they used that. Before the Koreans had a calender, they didn't record dates at all. Not many calenders have a before and after, like the AD/BC one.

(Contrary to popular belief, AD does not stand for After Death.)

BC refers to years that occurred before Christ. BC is also known as BCE, which stands for Before the Common Era, as Before Christ (BC) has religious implications.i.e. 2008 AD would be 2,008 years after Christ was born.AD means after Jesus was born and BC means befiore he was born

Why is it that in the year BC the count is descending and in the year AD the count is ascending?
The 'B' in 'BC' stands for 'BEFORE'. All the years 'BC' are years "Before" something. As time 'before' something goes along, you get closer and closer to the event, so the number of years 'before' it is descending. Until finally you reach the event, and you are at the year 'ZERO' before it. The 'A' in 'AD' stands for 'AFTER'. All the years 'AD' are years "After" something. If you're counting years 'after', you start at 'zero' when the event happens. Then as time 'after' it goes along, you get farther and farther from the event, so the number of years 'after' it is ascending.
