The concept of "Before Christ" only arrived "After Christ".
One cannot have a concept of a negative who's positive has not yet been made known. The absence of Christ could not have been conceptualized before the presence of Christ.
Edit for clarity:
In other words, Pre-BC is still just BC because to be before the concept of BC one must only come before C.
That makes sense.
