Year '''104''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CIV]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Monday]] of the [[Julian calendar]], the '''104th Year''' of the [[Anno Domini]] (AD) designation, the 104th year of the [[1st millennium]], the 4th year of the [[2nd century]], and the 5th year of the [[100s (decade)|100s]] decade. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Suburanus and Marcellus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 857 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 104 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.
