The Roman abbot Dionysus Exiguus devised the new Christian calendar in 533, but he never intended it to start on the birth of Jesus. He knew that it was impossible to say when Jesus was born, but he knew, or thought he knew, when Herod died. So, he chose to begin his Christian calendar on the year of Herod's death, and he based this on the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus. Unaware that Augustus only adopted that name four years after his reign began, going by his birth name of Octavius until then, Exiguus commenced his calendar just 4 years too late.

Did AD start when Jesus died?
AD started as soon as Jesus was born. It is actually Latin for 'after birth' and BC is Latin for 'Before Christ'. It just happens that they are the same letters and AD is not. It is a very common mistake for people to think AD started after Jesus died. But, think about it. If BC ended after he was born because it would no longer be before Christ, and AD started after he died, there would be some years missing in time for when he was living.In Latin, AD stands for Anno Domini which translates to "year of our lord." It it supposed to start counting from the birth of Jesus.
Did we start counting years after Jesus's birth or death?
YEAR BC (Before Christ) YEAR AD (Anno Domini) BC means Before Christ, and Anno Domini means "the year of our Lord", the period since his birth. So AD and BC refer to the cusp of these two periods in time. Therefore, we count years after Jesus' *supposed* birth. I don't agree with the "supposed" birth of Jesus, because if it's "supposed" then why is it the marking point to start counting years? It's part of your own explanation.
