How was time measured before Christ?
People didn't count years the way we do until quite recently. Even the expression AD was not used until about 525 AD. In England years was just counted as so many years of the reign of King so-and-so. Other cultures have counted from other years. Romans counted from the founding of Rome (about 750 BC) but did not do this until at least 500 years later.
Are the days 12 hours at the equator?
No, the number of hours in a day is constant and is determined by the rotational speed (or angular velocity) of the earth. Even though the equator has a larger diameter than somewhere near the poles, the angular velocity is the same for the entire earth.
Please see the related link for an explanation in more detail.
If your question is asking are the daylight hours for every day equal to 12 hours at the equator, then the answer is no. The Earth precesses as it moves through the sky, and hence the angle of the sun varies throughout the year. This is why you get the White Nights in some parts of northern Russia (i.e. daylight for all 24 hours) during some parts of the year.

Why are my dad's nails turning blue when he is on oxygen 24 hours of the day?
Your father probably has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A difficulty in the oxygen being delivered from the lungs to the red blood cells in his blood. Thus the hemoglobin in his red blood cells are not all filled with oxygen. Hemoglobin, if unfilled with oxygen, changes from a red color to a deep blue/purple color. That is why we think of blood coming from the heart as red and returning to the heart as blue on diagrams of the circulatory system. In fact, if your father was not on oxygen, his nails probably would be an even darker blue color. The oxygen should be, in fact, improving his color.
When was the last year for BC era?
The term "BC" or "Before Christ" was a retroactive time system put into effect by the Christian Church. It was to centre the human world and all its events around the most significant happening in all of human history, the birth of Christ.
