__NOTOC__
'''AD 99''' ('''[[Roman numerals|XCIX]]''') was a [[common year starting on Tuesday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the [[Roman consul|Consulship]] of [[Aulus Cornelius Palma Frontonianus|Palma]] and [[Quintus Sosius Senecio|Senecio]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 852 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 99 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.
