According to Wikipedia, there is no year "0" ("Zero").

So the dateline would look like the following:

..., 4 BC, 3 BC, 2 BC, 1 BC, 1 AD, 2 AD, 3 AD, 4 BC, ...

"BC" stands for "Before Christ"

"AD" stands for "Anno Domini" which is Medieval Latin, translated as "In the year of the Lord", it does not stand for "After Death".

The Anno Domini dating system was devised in 525 AD by Dionysius Exiguus.
