Different societies had different ways of calculating calendar dates. Years were usually. used (it's a solar measurement, so it's fairly constant). Roman calendars were based on years the emperor was in power; Jesus would have been born around Augustus 13 and died in Tiberius 16ish.

Our current calendar (the Gregorian calendar) was invented in the 1580s by Catholics. Before that the western world used the Julian calendar which was around 50 years behind our current one.
