__NOTOC__
'''AD 91''' ('''[[Roman numerals|XCI]]''') was a [[common year starting on Saturday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the [[Roman consul|Consulship]] of [[Manius Acilius Glabrio (consul 91)|Glabrio]] and [[Traianus]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 844 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 91 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.
