Year '''1 BC''' was a [[common year starting on Friday]] or [[Common year starting on Saturday|Saturday]] in the [[Julian calendar]] (the sources differ; see [[Julian calendar#Leap year error|leap year error]] for further information) and a [[leap year starting on Thursday]] in 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 [[Cossus Cornelius Lentulus Gaetulicus|Lentulus]] and [[Calpurnia gens#Calpurnii_Pisones|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]]".

The birth of Jesus (pictured above) is widely regarded to have been placed by Dionysus Exiguus, inventor of the Anno Domini dating system, in 1 BC. Modern scholarship, however, regards the birth of Christ to have taken place between 6 and 4 BC.[1]

Year 1 BC was a common year starting on Friday or Saturday in the Julian calendar (the sources differ; see leap year error for further information) and a leap year starting on Thursday in the proleptic Julian calendar. It was 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 AD 1 in the widely used Julian calendar and the proleptic Gregorian calendar, which both do not have a "year zero".

However, at least one scholar thinks Dionysius placed the incarnation of Jesus in the next year, AD 1.[10][11] Most modern scholars do not consider Dionysius' calculations authoritative, and place the event several years earlier.[12]
