'''AD 10''' ('''[[Roman numerals|X]]''') was a [[common year starting on Wednesday]] (link will display the full calendar) of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, throughout the [[Roman Empire]] it was known as the '''year of the [[consulship]] of [[Publius Cornelius Dolabella (consul 10)|Dolabella]] and [[Gaius Junius Silanus|Silanus]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 763 ''[[ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 10 for this year has been used since the early [[medieval period]], when the [[Anno Domini]] [[calendar era]] became the prevalent method in Europe for counting years.
