Year '''199''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CXCIX]]''') was a [[common year starting on Monday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was sometimes known as '''year 952 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''. The denomination 199 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.
