1 BC
was a
common year starting on Friday
or
Saturday
(link will display the full calendar) of the
Julian calendar
(the sources differ, see leap year error for further information) and a
leap year starting on Thursday
of the
Proleptic Julian calendar
. It is also a
leap year starting on Saturday
, in the
Proleptic Gregorian calendar
. At the time, it was known as the
Year of the
Consulship
of
Lentulus
and
Piso
(or, less frequently,
year 753
Ab urbe condita
). The denomination 1 BC for this year has been used since the early
medieval period
, when the
Anno Domini
calendar era
became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years. The following year is 1 AD in the widely used Julian calendar, which does not have a "year zero".
