'''AD 85''' ('''[[Roman numerals|LXXXV]]''') was a [[common year starting on Saturday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the [[Roman consul|Consulship]] of [[Domitian|Augustus]] and [[Titus Aurelius Fulvus (grandfather of Antoninus Pius)|Fulvus]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 838 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 85 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.
