We should retroactively go back and adjust the BCE dates by one to include year zero.

    If you go the other way, you only have to change 2020 years worth of dates instead of 14 billion.

    Just sayin.

      But most dates BCE have more than one year of uncertainty in them.

        I know. Even the event the calendar's epoch is supposed to be based on is off by at least 4 years.
