32

32 (XXXII) was a leap year beginning on a Tuesday of the Julian calendar, in effect on that date. In the Roman Empire, it was known as the Year of the Consulate of Gnaeus Domitius Anobarbus and Lucius Arruncio Camillus Scribonianus (or less frequently, year 785 Ab urbe condita). The designation 32 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the A.D. era became the prevalent European method of naming years.
