__NOTOC__
'''AD 93''' ('''[[Roman numerals|XCIII]]''') was a [[common year starting on Tuesday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the [[Roman consul|Consulship]] of [[Sextus Pompeius Collega|Pompeius]] and [[Quintus Peducaeus Priscinus|Priscinus]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 846 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 93 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.
