__NOTOC__
'''AD 36''' ('''[[Roman numerals|XXXVI]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Sunday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the [[Consulship]] of [[Sextus Papinius Allenius|Allenius]] and [[Quintus Plautius|Plautius]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 789 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 36 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.
