You can't.

0000-00-00 is not a valid date: there is no "zeroth month" or "zeroth" day of the month.

...or "zeroth year" (thus 2000 was the last year of the 20th century, not the first of the 21st.) ;-)

Yeah, I agree - but...It *wounds* me that numbers run
...
2BC
1BC
1AD
2AD
...

My coder instincts scream at me: "It needs a elephanting zero index, goddamn it!" :laugh:

Should it be
0BC
or
0AD
or
0PH (PlaceHolder)

I'm partial to 0BC because it looks more "Hex"ish, but then we could have 0AD simply to put an 'F' in front of it and snigger...
