Year '''195''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CXCV]]''') was a [[common year starting on Wednesday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known in Rome as the '''Year of the Consulship of Scrapula and Clemens''' (or, less frequently, '''year 948 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 195 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.
