__NOTOC__
'''AD 14''' ('''[[Roman numerals|XIV]]''') was a [[common year starting on Monday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the [[Consulship]] of [[Sextus Pompeius (consul 14)|Pompeius]] and [[Sextus Appuleius|Appuleius]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 767 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 14 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.
