__NOTOC__
'''AD 80''' ('''[[Roman numerals|LXXX]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Saturday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the [[Roman consul|Consulship]] of [[Titus|Augustus]] and [[Domitian]]us''' (or, less frequently, '''year 833 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 80 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.
