__NOTOC__
Year '''527''' ('''[[Roman numerals|DXXVII]]''') was a [[common year starting on Friday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of [[Vettius Agorius Basilius Mavortius|Mavortius]] without Colleague''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1280 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 527 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.
