__NOTOC__
'''AD 1''' or '''1 CE'''('''[[Roman numerals|I]]''') is the [[Epoch (reference date)|epoch year]] for the [[Anno Domini]] (AD) Christian [[calendar era]], and the 1st year of the [[1st century]] and [[1st millennium]] of the Christian and [[Common Era]] (CE). It was a [[common year starting on Saturday]] or [[Common year starting on Sunday|Sunday]],<ref group="note">Sources disagree regarding the starting day of Julian year Anno Domino I (see [[Julian calendar#Leap year error|leap year error]] for further information).</ref> a [[common year starting on Saturday]] by the [[proleptic Julian calendar]], and a [[common year starting on Monday]] by the [[proleptic Gregorian calendar]]. 

In the [[Roman Empire]], AD 1 was known as the "Year of the consulship of [[Gaius Caesar]] and [[Lucius Aemilius Paullus (consul 1)|Lucius Paullus]]",<ref>''[[Fasti Capitolini]]'', [http://www.attalus.org/translate/fasti3.html AD 1]</ref> and less frequently, as the year {{auc|1|CE|disp=alone|alinks=off}} (see ''[[ab urbe condita]]''). The denomination "AD 1" for this year has been in consistent use since the mid-[[Middle Ages|medieval period]] when the Anno Domini (AD) calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years. It was the beginning of the [[Anno Domini|Christian era]]/[[Common Era|common era]]. The preceding year is [[1 BC]]; there is no [[Year zero|year 0]] in this numbering scheme. The ''Anno Domini'' dating system was devised in [[AD 525]] by [[Dionysius Exiguus]].

The [[Julian calendar]], a [[45 BC]] reform of the [[Roman calendar]], was the calendar used by Rome in AD 1.
