a.d. is latin and translated means "year of our lord" so there is no time in between

Dionysius named the years relating to his cycle, BC for Before Christ which starts with year 1 and AD for Anno Domini, the year of Our Lord referring to the year of Christ’s birth. This is also a year 1. There is no year 0.
That’s the reason purists insists the 21st century actually begins January 1, 2001. (for example the first year began in 1 AD and ended the beginning of 2 AD so the first year of the 21st century begins in 2001 AD and ends with the beginning of 2002 AD
A.D mean after crist born so the is no in between

In about AD 523, the Papal Chancelor Bonifatius, asked a monk by name Dionysius Exiguus to devise a way to implement the rules for general use to measure eras.
Dionysius chose to number the years since the birth of Christ.
dionysius wrongly fixed the birth w.r.t. Diocletians reign, in such a manner that it falls on 25 december 753 AUC ( Ab Urbe Condita, ie. since founding of Rome), thus making the current era start with AD (Anno Domini, In the year of the Lord) 1 on 1 st january 754 AUC. Donysius let the year AD 1 start one week after what he believed to be Jesus Birthday.
Jesus was actually born in the reign of King Herod the great, who died in AUC 750. Which means that Jesus could have been born no later than 750 AUC.
When people started dating years before AUC 754 using term Before Christ, they let the year 1 BC immediately precede AD 1 with no intervening year 0.
So a person who was born in 10 BC and died in 10 AD, wud have died at age 19 and not 20.

Actually A.D. is Anno Domino(if I spelled it correctly) and Latin meaning In the Year of Our Lord. Although not sure when exactly he was born it is to signify the year of his Birth.
Oh and it is properly AD ____(2006 now) and ____ BC it actually is supposed to be written a certain way.

b.c. was first (before christ; although since he's God there is no before, he's always existed). a.d. is commonly confused as meaning after death, but it is the year of his birth as a man. there's no in between time.

AD is not After Christ but "Anno Domini" latin (year of our Lord) which theoretically starts when Christ was born.
BC is before Christ.
So in between is a zero point only

AD is after the year of the lord...So, the thought is that Christ wasn't around in 1 BC...he was born in 1 AD...nothing in between.
