Took me a second

They wouldn't call the year 59 bc in 59 bc

Okay, honest question: what did they call it then, if anything?

Because it's not like they planned on counting down to the future "messiah's" birthday.

You have to look at non-Christian calendars.

It was 2275 in Korea.

It was 265 of the 33rd dynasty in Egypt.

It was 2 of the 180th Olympiad in Greece.

None of them matter. They’re just funny jibber-jabber.
