The year in which Christ was born did not come to be known as AD 1 (“after Christ”) centuries later. At the time of his birth, as today, there were several ways of counting time, but for most people living under the influence of the Roman Empire, 1 AD was 754 BC, that is, 754 years had passed since the creation of Pomegranate. However, the Roman calendar was not standard even among the Romans: the count was also made by the years of reign of each emperor and, according to this calendar, the year before the birth of Christ was the 31st year of Augustus or the 46th year of Augustus. calendar created by Julius Caesar. The definition that the birth of Christ would be the year 1 only came much later, around 1286 BC, when a friar named Dionysius the Little made some calculations and determined that that was the year 532 after the birth of Christ ( A.D). But a few centuries later the calculations were redone and the question arose that the little great Dionysius had his calculations wrong and therefore our calendar may be four to six years behind. That is, Christ would have been born 2016 or 2018 years ago, not 2012.
