In the Roman Empire, AD 1 was known as the "Year of the consulship of Gaius Caesar and Lucius Paullus",[1] and less frequently, as the year AUC 754 (see ab urbe condita). The denomination "AD 1" for this year has been in consistent use since the mid-medieval period when the Anno Domini (AD) calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years. It was the beginning of the Christian era/common era. The preceding year is 1 BC; there is no year 0 in this numbering scheme. The Anno Domini dating system was devised in AD 525 by Dionysius Exiguus.
The Julian calendar, a 45 BC reform of the Roman calendar, was the calendar used by Rome in AD 1.

- Birth of Jesus, as assigned by Dionysius Exiguus in his anno Domini era according to at least one scholar.[5][6] However, most scholars think that Dionysius placed the birth of Jesus in the previous year, 1 BC.[5][6] Furthermore, most modern scholars do not consider Dionysius' calculations authoritative, placing the event several years earlier (see Chronology of Jesus).[7]
