37

37 (XXXVII) was a common year beginning on a Tuesday of the Julian calendar, in force on that date. In the Roman Empire, it was known as the Year of the Consulate of Gnaeus Acerronius Proculus and Gaius Petronius Pontius Negrinus (or less frequently, year 790 Ab urbe condita). The designation 37 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the A.D. era became the prevalent European method of naming years.
