5 BC was a
common year starting on Monday or
Tuesday (link will display the full calendar) of the
Julian calendar (the sources differ, see
leap year error for further information) and a
leap year starting on Saturday of the
Proleptic Julian calendar. In the Roman world, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Augustus and Sulla (or, less frequently, year 749
Ab urbe condita). The denomination 5 BC 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.
