::summary Calendar year ::
AD 28 (XXVIII) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Silanus and Nerva (or, less frequently, '*year 781 *Ab urbe condita'''''). The denomination AD 28 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.
