Year '''191''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CXCI]]''') was a [[common year starting on Friday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Apronianus and Bradua''' (or, less frequently, '''year 944 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 191 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.
