'''AD 28''' ('''[[Roman numerals|XXVIII]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Thursday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the [[Consulship]] of [[Appius Junius Silanus|Silanus]] and [[Publius Silius Nerva (consul 28)|Nerva]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 781 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 28 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.
