'''AD 38''' ('''[[Roman numerals|XXXVIII]]''') was a [[common year starting on Wednesday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the [[Consulship]] of [[Marcus Aquila Julianus|Iulianus]] and [[Asprenas Calpurnius Serranus|Asprenas]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 791 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 38 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.
