'''AD 95''' ('''[[Roman numerals|XCV]]''') was a [[common year starting on Thursday]] of the [[Julian calendar]], the '''95th Year''' of the [[Anno Domini]] (AD) designation, the 95th year of the [[1st millennium]], the 95th year of the end of the [[1st century]], and the 5th year of the 10th decade. In the [[Roman Empire]], it was known as the '''Year of the [[Roman consul|Consulship]] of [[Domitian|Augustus]] and [[Titus Flavius Clemens (consul)|Clemens]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 848 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 95 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.
