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.
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.
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.
Yes 1 BC was the last year until AD started.
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.
BC stands for "Before Christ" and refers to the period of time before the estimated birth of Jesus Christ. It is used in the Gregorian calendar to denote years that count backward from 1 BC, with 1 BC being immediately followed by AD 1 (Anno Domini, meaning "in the year of our Lord"). The system is commonly used in historical contexts to date events prior to the Christian era.
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.
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.
AnswerThe year 1 BCE (or BC) was followed by the year 1 CE (or AD). there was no year 0.
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.
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.
No, 650 is not between 100 BC and 100 AD. The year 100 BC is followed by 1 AD, with no year 0 in between. Therefore, 650 falls well after this range, in the early medieval period.
The year after 55 BC is 54 BC. In the BC (Before Christ) dating system, years are counted backward, so each subsequent year is less than the previous one. Thus, 55 BC is followed by 54 BC.
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.

3 BC falls in the 1st century BC. The 1st century BC spans from 100 BC to 1 BC, with the year 1 BC being the last year of that century. Thus, 3 BC is the third year of the 1st century BC.
BC, or "Before Christ," denotes years before the traditional date of Christ's birth, while AD, or "Anno Domini," refers to years after. In this system, the years count down as they approach year 1 BC (e.g., 2 BC is followed by 1 BC), and then transition into AD, where the years count up starting from AD 1. Thus, the timeline moves backwards in BC and forwards in AD, with no year zero between the two.
