It depends on the field.

I've cited the Principia before without issues.

I've also cited the Cyropaedia.

Reminds me of someone asking how to cite the Bible. Whether or not you can just go "John 3:16" or "His Majesty King James VI of Scotland and I of England, Ireland and France - 1611 'Authorised Version' Translation of The Bible - John Chapter Three Section 16"

Although if you were directly quoting it, I think stating the translation would be more important than if you were referencing it.

The Bible, The Lord; 0 AD

Be bold, dare your teacher to dock you points for it.

I don't believe we have a single book in the bible written in 0 CE. I'm docking points for incorrectly citing the publication date on the book you reference. /s

In fact, I don't think anything at all was written in 0 AD
