__NOTOC__
'''AD 48''' ('''[[Roman numerals|XLVIII]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Monday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the [[Consulship]] of [[Vitellius]] and [[Lucius Vipstanus Poplicola|Poplicola]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 801 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 48 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.
