__NOTOC__ |
|||
Year '''8''' ('''[[Roman numerals|VIII]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Sunday]] (link will display the full calendar) of the [[Julian calendar]]. In the Roman Empire, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Camillus and Quinctilianus''' (or, less frequently, '''761 Ab urbe condita'''). The denomination 8 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. |
