this article concerns the period 9 bc – 1 bc , the last nine years of the 1st century bc .
note that there is no year zero -lrb- 0 -rrb- in either the proleptic gregorian calendar or julian calendar .
hence 1 bc is followed by the year ad 1 .
<p>
ad 1 is the first year of the anno domini era and of the common era .
in 525 -lrb- the consulship of probus junior -lsb- flavius probus -rsb- -rrb- , a christian monk named dionysius exiguus stated that the incarnation of jesus occurred 525 years earlier .
whether dionysius regarded " incarnation " as jesus ' birth or conception , and whether dionysius placed it in 1 bc or ad 1 are debated by modern scholars .
nevertheless , these same scholars believe jesus was actually born a few years earlier , during this decade .
