Year '''159''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CLIX]]''') was a [[common year starting on Sunday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time in Roman territories, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Quintillus and Priscus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 912 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 159 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.
