You are both right and wrong in the sense that the first established year (established much later as I said) is indeed the year 1 but that is mathematically speaking a mistake as any counting should start from 0.

Er, so... out of curiosity, when you tell someone "I'm going to count to ten," do you start with zero? When a video game is released in some new IP, do you think that the first entry in the franchise should be #0? (Or is it a mistake to call it the "first entry"? Ought it be the "zeroth entry," or something like that?)

I'm sympathetic to those who think that we ought to count the year 2000 as part of the twenty-first century, not the twentieth, and etc., because it certainly seems significant to watch that initial 1 change into a 2... but let's not turn that into making claims about "any counting" and "mathematically speaking a mistake."
