'''AD 30''' ('''[[Roman numerals|XXX]]''') 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 Vinicius (consul 30)|Vinicius]] and [[Gaius Cassius Longinus (consul AD 30)|Longinus]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 783 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 30 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.
