__NOTOC__
'''AD 77''' ('''[[Roman numerals|LXXVII]]''') was a [[common year starting on Wednesday]] (link will display the full calendar) of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the [[Consulship]] of [[Vespasian]] and [[Titus]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 830 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 77 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.
