The year before the year One AD is called the year One BC. (There was no year zero.) We call it that now, according to the Gregorian Calendar. At the time it was called different names in different places where other calendars were used. This means that from the year 5 BC to the year 5 AD, for example, was 9 years, not 10 as you might expect if there had been a year zero. And today, there are people who use CE (Common Era) for the AD years and BCE (Before the Common Era) for the BC years.

None. BC represents all of time before Jesus was born and AD represents the time after Jesus was born.
