It is: 99 BC
If you mean bc as in Before Christ then it is 2 bc followed by 3 bc and so on.
The year 87BC, as with any year between 100BC and 1BC, fell in the first century BC.
the day that came after December 31, 1 BC was a new millenium and not zero because there was no zero in milleniums, centuries, decades, or years
1552BC, of courseTime scale:2000BC ... 1000BC ...500BC ... 1BC (Christ is born here ;)) 1 .. 500 ... 1990 2000... 2010
The year that comes before 1AD is 1BC. there's no 0 (Zero) AD.
Yes, the first year of our current systems was 1AD. There was no year zero. Zero is nothing, so it cannot have something attached to it. 1BC preceded 1AD. There was no year in between these two. It is just like there is no day between the last day of one month and the first day of the next month. Right from the 1st of January 1AD we were in the year 1AD though the year was not complete until it ended. Your starting point of zero was at the very beginning of the year. The year prior to that zero point was the year immediately before it, so there is no intervening year. We went from 1BC to 1AD, not from 1BC to year 0 to 1AD.
Nothing, because there was no "0 AD". The timeline went from 1BC directly to 1AD.
No. AD started immediately after BC. There was no year zero. So after 1BC came 1AD.
The years between are the years from 249 BC to 1BC, and 1AD to 249AD, ie. 498 years.
Because there was no year '0'; If you were born in 1BC you would be turning 2015 in the year 2016. If you were born in 1AD you would be turning 2014 in the year 2016.
All of each of 5BC, 4BC, 3BC, 2BC, 1BC, 1AD, 2AD, 3AD, 4AD, so 9 Or, you might mean 4BC ........... 4AD so 8
The sixth century BC:1BC - 100BC = 1st century BC;101BC - 200BC = 2nd century BC;201BC - 300BC = 3rd century BC...and so on:501BC - 600BC = 6th century BC.Remember that there was no 0 A.D., so the first century BC ended with 1BC, swiftly followed by the first century AD that started with 1AD.
Excluding 100BC and 500AD, there are: In BC: 99BC to 1BC = 99 years In AD: 1AD to 499AD = 499 years In total 99 + 499 = 598 years. Including 100BC and 500AD, there are: In BC: 100BC to 1BC = 100 years In AD: 1AD to 500AD = 500 years In total 100 + 500 = 600 years. You may be wondering about the lack of year 0. The BC/AD system of calendar was devised by an abbot called Dionysius Exiguus in the year designated as 247 anno Diocletiani (year of Diocletian). However, as Diocletian was a notorious persecutor of Christians, and so Dionysius decided to use anno Domini (year of the Lord) to describe the year; he worked out Christ had been born some 531 years earlier; in his time zero did not exist (as a concept) and so his first year, the year of Christ's birth, became 1AD (with the previous year now being known as 1BC). Thus 247 anno Diocletian became 531 anno Domini in the calendar system we now use.
When trying to calculate ages remember that there is no year 0 AD/BC- it goes straight from 1BC to 1AD, so he lived for 5 years before the change and 33 years after so he would be 38 years old total.
1bc
1ad
