'''AD 43''' ('''[[Roman numerals|XLIII]]''') was a [[common year starting on Tuesday]] (link will display the full calendar) of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the [[Consulship]] of [[Claudius|Caesar]] and [[Lucius Vitellius the Elder|Vitellius]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 796 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 43 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. |
