It depended on where you were in the world but in Roman Empire, they had a calender based on the legendary founding date of Rome. The BC/AD system came about after the BC years were already past. They were just retroactively named <cite>Zikten posted [p:960334413] in What did y... [t:79778493]...</cite> <quote>They didn't say either. Nobody in actual BC times ever said BC.

The West is currently indebted to Roman timekeeping, adjusted slightly over time to be more accurate.
