Year '''137''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CXXXVII]]''') was a [[common year starting on Monday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Caesar and [[Publius Coelius Balbinus Vibullius Pius|Balbinus]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 890 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 137 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.
