Year '''516''' ('''[[Roman numerals|DXVI]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Friday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of [[Petrus (consul 516)|Petrus]] without colleague''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1269 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 516 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.<br />
