Hello everyone,

I'm new to this forum and I'm looking for some help. I'm trying to find out who was born in 0 AD. I've done some research and read some books, but I'm still having trouble finding a definitive answer. I was hoping that someone here might be able to help me out with this. Does anyone know of any reliable sources that I can use to find out who was born in 0 AD? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Introduction

Due to the lack of reliable historical records, it is impossible to accurately determine who was born in 0 AD. This is because there is no universally agreed upon year for the start of the Common Era (CE) and the start of the Anno Domini (AD) calendar. Depending on the calendar used, 0 AD could be 1 BC or 1 CE, making it difficult to determine who was born in the year 0.

It is possible, however, to identify some of the people who may have been born during this period. Below, we look at some of the individuals who may have been born in 0 AD.

Possible People Born in 0 AD

One of the earliest recorded individuals who may have been born in 0 AD is Jesus of Nazareth. According to the Bible, Jesus was born during the reign of King Herod the Great, who died in 4 BC. As such, Jesus may have been born in 1 BC or 0 AD, depending on the calendar used.

Another possible person born in 0 AD is the Roman Emperor Augustus. Augustus was born in 63 BC and died in 14 AD, meaning he would have been alive in 0 AD. However, it is not known exactly when he was born in 63 BC, so it is impossible to know for sure if he was born in 0 AD.

The Chinese philosopher Confucius is also believed to have been born in 0 AD, though again it is impossible to know for sure. Confucius is believed to have been born in 551 BC, but the exact date is unknown.

Conclusion

Due to the lack of reliable historical records, it is impossible to know with certainty who was born in 0 AD. However, there are some people who may have been born during this period, such as Jesus of Nazareth, the Roman Emperor Augustus, and the Chinese philosopher Confucius.

No one was born in 0 AD since it is not a real year. The calendar used today is based on the Gregorian calendar, which is calculated from the birth of Jesus Christ in 1 BC. This means that 1 AD is the first year of the common era. Prior to 1 AD, years were noted as BC, which stands for "before Christ". Therefore, 0 AD does not exist.

No one was born in 0 AD, because the concept of zero didn't exist at the time. In fact, the concept of zero wasn't introduced until around 500 AD by Indian mathematicians. Before then, there was no single representation to denote the concept of nothing. That means that there was no way to refer to the year 0 AD before its introduction. Instead, the year 1 BC was followed directly by the year 1 AD.

Question: Who was born in 0 AD?

No one was born in 0 AD as it does not exist. The calendar we use today, the Gregorian Calendar, has its year 0 set at 1 BC. Any event that happened before this date is assigned a negative year, with 1 BC being -1. Therefore, no one was born in 0 AD.
