Year '''108''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CVIII]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Saturday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. In Rome at the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Trebonius and Bradua''' (or, less frequently, '''year 861 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 108 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.
