Year 0

[TheMightyTen]

I would have thought that there was a person called Jesus who did good things, but whose good deeds have been slightly exaggerated.

Or a Jewish freedom fighter/rabble rouser who took on Rome and the Jewish establishment and lost but had a few friends who were damn good with spin and a fairly good self serving champion who never even met Jesus (cough, ahem Paul ahem cough)

Lunchtime

Didn't they define the time as who were Consuls at the time i.e 100BC = The year of Lucius Valerius Flaccus and Gaius Marius.

Sure that's what I read somewhere

kind of, the julian calender years were identified by naming of the consuls (this is during the empire as well (consuls continued to exist), dionysus (not to be confused with the God) devised 'AD' in his easter table to identify the easters in it

And they say education in this country is improving

There is no Year 0

Thanks

Just been reading about Ab urbe condita as well but understand it was far less commonly used than modern historians like to make out. Also found out that using the Regnal Year was more common in the Byzantine Empire.

it is because that is how we have measured our recorded time on the planet, i doubt the issue really keeps you up at night

 

[QlimaxUK]

maybe the OP is jesus but after 2009 years he is starting to lose his memory

 

[Stretch]

LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM LABOUR!!

lol, he's got a point

 

[something daft already!!]

Time is relative anyway. We really should measure it from when time began, if it ever did. So it's roughly year 13.7 Billion (US). That is if time really did begin then.

 

[Dr Jack]

not quite right my friend but you'll get there

There is no year 0. It goes 1BC, 1AD there is no year 0 in the middle.

 

[GeForce]

This is before the BC-AD changeover

when everyone was going,
"Is it AD yet?"

You didn't wind your watch back,
you had to get a new watch.

"Oh, it's AD, is it? ******* hell."

And the Muslim people going,
"AD? Who's he?"

 

[vincent1989]

There is no year 0. It goes 1BC, 1AD there is no year 0 in the middle.

yes, by the Julian and Gregorian calenders, but there are others, including the astronomical calender that does use a 0, therefore you are not quite right


edit: if you'd actually read the thread, done some studying or not just assumed you were right then we wouldn't be having this discussion

 

[JBuk]

Prove it

disprove it
