__NOTOC__
Year '''275''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CCLXXV]]''') was a [[common year starting on Friday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Aurelianus and Marcellinus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1028 ''[[Ab urbe condita libri (Livy)|Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 275 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.
