'''AD 65''' ('''[[Roman numerals|LXV]]''') was a [[common year starting on Tuesday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the [[Consulship]] of [[Aulus Licinius Nerva Silianus (consul 65)|Nerva]] and [[Marcus Julius Vestinus Atticus|Vestinus]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 818 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 65 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.
