TASK DESCRIPTION
  I find that BC times in Wikidata are usually 1 year ahead of the real year.
  
  For example, 
  Rome is founded in 753 BC, but Wikidata says 752 BC
  Cleopatra died in 30 BC, but Wikidata says 29 BC
  
  but, there are correct ones, for example,
  the birth date and death date of Virgil (Q1398) is correct.
  
  I guess this has something to do with internal Georgian Calendar used by 
Wikidata, which says year 0 should be 1 BC, and year -1 should be 2 BC. And 
perhaps programmers didn't handle this very well when importing data.
