__NOTOC__

'''AD 44''' ('''[[Roman numerals|XLIV]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Wednesday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the [[Consulship]] of [[Gaius Sallustius Crispus Passienus|Crispus]] and [[Titus Statilius Taurus (consul 44)|Taurus]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 797 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 44 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.
