'''AD 19''' ('''[[Roman numerals|XIX]]''') was a [[common year starting on Sunday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the [[Consulship]] of [[Marcus Junius Silanus Torquatus|Silanus]] and [[Lucius Norbanus Balbus|Balbus]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 772 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 19 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.
