AD 137

"137 (year)" redirects here. For the year of the pre-Julian Roman calendar, see 137 BC.

Year 137 (CXXXVII) was a common year starting on Monday of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Caesar and Balbinus (or, less frequently, year 890 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 137 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.
