How do we represent the time when Jesus was alive?

I mean Before Christ became B.C & correct me if I'm wrong but AD came into after His death.. So how do we represent the time when say Jesus was 15?? Like 15 Years Before Christ was 15 BC, & 15 Years after His death is 15 A.D...

    Actually this method has been replaced by a more value-neutral standard, which is to say that the time before the birth of Christ was bce, before the common era. After his birth the years are now known as CE, or common era.
