Year '''126''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CXXVI]]''') was a [[common year starting on Monday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Verus and Ambibulus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 879 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 126 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.
