'''AD 75''' ('''[[Roman numerals|LXXV]]''') was a [[common year starting on Sunday]] (link will display the full calendar) of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the [[Consulship]] of [[Vespasian|Augustus]] and [[Titus|Vespasianus]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 828 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 75 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.
