Year '''205''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CCV]]''') was a [[common year starting on Tuesday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Aurelius and Geta''' (or, less frequently, '''year 958 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 205 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.
