When people insist on an utterly idiotic convention with no basis on anything concrete that decades, centuries and millennia start at years ending in '1' and not in '0', which makes much more sense.

So what year did the first century of our current calendar system or common era start if not 1 AD?

First century started on year 1 and ended on year 99. Yes, I am aware that that's only 99 years, not 100. So what? It's just a convention anyway. The first decade, century and millennium were exceptions.

If Jesus had been born on year 1, it might be different - but we now know that he wasn't.
