Neither, because there is no year zero in the BC/AD calendar. After the year 1BC, the year AD1 starts. There is a zero point, at midnight on 31 December, 1BC, but that point has no duration, any more than midnight tonight will have any duration. As the clock ticks past midnight, the next day begins immediately. Same applies to years, and same applies to BC and 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.

What is the 33 years between bc and ad called?

There were no years at all between BC and AD. 1BC was immediately followed by 1AD. There was not even a year zero. Some think there was a year zero between BC and AD; others think there were 33 years between BC and AD, but neither of these are correct. BC is Before Christ. AD is not After Death, but Anno Domini, meaning the Year of Our Lord. So you had up to the time he was born, and from when he was born onwards, with nothing between them.


What does 'bc' and 'ad' actually mean?

BC: Before Christ AD: Anno Domini (After Christ/Latin) BC stands for "Before Christ", AD stands for "Anno Domini" which is medieval latin for "in the year of (the) Lord" - not After Death! Interestingly, there was no year zero - the calendar goes straight from 1 BC to 1 AD.

There are 19 years between 10 BC and 10 AD. The reason for this is that there is no year 0 in the Gregorian calendar system, so the year following 1 BC is 1 AD. Therefore, you need to count from 10 BC to 1 AD (10 years) and then add the 9 years from 1 AD to 10 AD, totaling 19 years.
