'''AD 67''' ('''[[Roman numerals|LXVII]]''') was a [[common year starting on Thursday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time it was known as the '''Year of the [[Consulship]] of Julius Rufus and [[Fonteius Capito (consul 67)|Fonteius Capito]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 820 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 67 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.
