I think they counted down to the winter solstice. Usually December 21 or 22, in the Northern Hemisphere. The shortest day/longest night. Winter solsice is believed to be a celebration fo rebirth.
Funny how many cultures today have celebrations around the same time.

No, as the Gregorian calendar had not yet been invented. Many cultures only use the western calendar to ease business transactions and communications, otherwise their calendars have no concept of a BC or AD. The same would be true of early cultures.

You have presented a very interesting question, and even more interesting is what do you think the best selling novel was before "the bible" or even better.... What kind of bumper stickers could they have possibly had without such witty sayings like "WWJD" or " No jesus No peace, No peace No jesus"
It must have been a very boring commute in early morning rush hour traffic!

No, cos they had no knowledge of Jesus' birth. Like saying the Romans counted their dates backwards.

Maybe. Who knows. Some people had good calendars.
