Year '''150''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CL]]''') was a [[common year starting on Wednesday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. In the [[Roman Empire]], it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Squilla and Vetus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 903 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 150 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.
