A good point - I haven't checked when the Romans thought a year started. However, for all the 1st century dates I've been checking though most dates are given in the form of "during the consulship of X and Y", or "in the xth year of Xitans reign/governorship".
However perhaps others can answer more broadly.
Oh the grand oh Duke Suetonius, he had a Roman legion, he galloped rushed down to (a minor settlement called) Londinium then he galloped rushed back again. Londinium Bridge is falling down, falling down ... HOLD IT ... change of plans, we're leaving the bridge for Boudica and galloping rushing north.
