__NOTOC__
'''AD 17''' ('''[[Roman numerals|XVII]]''') was a [[common year starting on Friday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Flaccus and Rufus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 770 ''Ab urbe condita'''''). The denomination AD 17 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.
