The question is not answerable.
Easter can only calculated from year 1 on. Before that easter is not defined.
Now tell for which calendar: Julian or Gregorian?
For the rest have a look at the Jedi Code Library. One of several ways to calculate easter sunday.

I don't think it can be calculated prior to 325 A.D.
See http://www.smart.net/~mmontes/ec-cal.html for an explanation of the algorithm and restrictions.
