However, there is a year zero in both the astronomical year numbering system (where it coincides with the Julian year ), and the ISO 8601:2004 system, the interchange standard for all calendar numbering systems (where year zero coincides with the Gregorian year ; see conversion table). There is also a year zero in most Buddhist and Hindu calendars. Historical, astronomical and ISO year numbering systems Historians The ''Anno Domini'' era was introduced in 525 by Scythian monk Dionysius Exiguus (c. 470 – c. 544), who used it to identify the years on his Easter table. He introduced the new era to avoid using the '' Diocletian era'', based on the accession of Roman Emperor Diocletian, as he did not wish to continue the memory of a persecutor ...
