__NOTOC__
'''AD 24''' ('''[[Roman numerals|XXIV]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Saturday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the [[Consulship]] of [[Servius Cornelius Cethegus|Cethegus]] and [[Lucius Visellius Varro|Varro]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 777 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 24 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.
