That could be the year 1BC.
All of each of 5BC, 4BC, 3BC, 2BC, 1BC, 1AD, 2AD, 3AD, 4AD, so 9 Or, you might mean 4BC ........... 4AD so 8
The years between are the years from 249 BC to 1BC, and 1AD to 249AD, ie. 498 years.
Excluding 100BC and 500AD, there are: In BC: 99BC to 1BC = 99 years In AD: 1AD to 499AD = 499 years In total 99 + 499 = 598 years. Including 100BC and 500AD, there are: In BC: 100BC to 1BC = 100 years In AD: 1AD to 500AD = 500 years In total 100 + 500 = 600 years. You may be wondering about the lack of year 0. The BC/AD system of calendar was devised by an abbot called Dionysius Exiguus in the year designated as 247 anno Diocletiani (year of Diocletian). However, as Diocletian was a notorious persecutor of Christians, and so Dionysius decided to use anno Domini (year of the Lord) to describe the year; he worked out Christ had been born some 531 years earlier; in his time zero did not exist (as a concept) and so his first year, the year of Christ's birth, became 1AD (with the previous year now being known as 1BC). Thus 247 anno Diocletian became 531 anno Domini in the calendar system we now use.
The answer is 33 years old, as there was no year zero, so after 1BC, when you would be 16, there would be 1AD, when you would be 17. 16 years later, in 17AD, you would therefore be 33 years old.
From 1BC to 2009 was 2009 years, as there was no year zero.
The years between are the years from 249 BC to 1BC, and 1AD to 249AD, ie. 498 years.
0 or if it's a trick question about the years going back, 1BC
1bc
year 1bc
1bc
That could be the year 1BC.

1bc
the day that came after December 31, 1 BC was a new millenium and not zero because there was no zero in milleniums, centuries, decades, or years
There are two complications to this question: the fact that the year 0 did not happen, and also the fact that people frequently misunderstand "between" to include the ends of the range. From 899BC to 1BC is 899 years. From 1 to 619 AD is 619 years. 899 + 619 = 1518 years between -- that is, years which are neither in 900 BC nor in 620 AD.
