'''AD 29''' ('''[[Roman numerals|XXIX]]''') was a [[common year starting on Saturday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the [[Consulship]] of [[Gaius Fufius Geminus (consul 29)|Geminus]] and [[Lucius Rubellius Geminus|Geminus]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 782 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 29 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.
