__NOTOC__
Year '''510''' ('''[[Roman numerals|DX]]''') was a [[common year starting on Friday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. In the [[Roman Empire]], it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of [[Boethius|Severinus]] without colleague''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1263 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 510 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.
