__NOTOC__
'''AD 25''' ('''[[Roman numerals|XXV]]''') was a [[common year starting on Monday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of [[Cossus Cornelius Lentulus (consul AD 25)|Lentulus]] and [[Marcus Asinius Agrippa|Agrippa]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 778 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 25 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.
