AD 74
Calendar year
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AD 74 (LXXIV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Titus (third time) and Vespasian (fifth time) (or, less frequently, year 827 Ab urbe condita). The denomination AD 74 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.
