88

The year 88 (LXXXVIII) was a leap 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 Augustus and Rufus (or less frequently, year 841 Ab urbe condita). The designation 88 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini became the prevalent European method of naming years.
