Year '''167''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CLXVII]]''') was a [[common year starting on Wednesday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Aurelius and Quadratus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 920 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 167 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.
