It did not start at 0 AD. There was no year zero. Zero is nothing, whereas a year is something, so you cannot have something that is numbered zero. So you have 1 BC followed directly by 1 AD. It is just like at the end of the month there is no day zero between the last day of the month and the first day of the next month.

The very first year in the Gregorian calendar is designated as 1 AD, following the convention established by the monk Dionysius Exiguus in the 6th century. There is no year 0 in this system; the year 1 BC is immediately followed by 1 AD. This absence of a year zero is a characteristic of the calendar system used in Western history.
