Year '''128''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CXXVIII]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Wednesday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Calpurnius and Libo''' (or, less frequently, '''year 881 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 128 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.
