So, what would somebody say the year was if they were asked at that point?

A universal calendar hasn't been established yet so it would depend on where you are.

For example today in 59 BC under the Athenian calendar would be 17 of Thargelion, Ol.180.1

But that's a conversion that everyone knows anyways.
