'''AD 49''' ('''[[Roman numerals|XLIX]]''') was a [[common year starting on Wednesday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the [[Consulship]] of [[Gaius Pompeius Longus Gallus|Longus]] and [[Quintus Veranius|Veranius]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 802 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 49 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.
