Year '''168''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CLXVIII]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Thursday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Apronianus and Paullus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 921 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 168 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.
