Year '''160''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CLX]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Monday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known in Rome as the '''Year of the Consulship of Atilius and Vibius''' (or, less frequently, '''year 913 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 160 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the [[Anno Domini]] [[calendar era]] became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
