'''AD 55''' ('''[[Roman numerals|LV]]''') was a [[common year starting on Wednesday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Caesar and Vetus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 808 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 55 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.
