AI overview

I don't have enough context to write an accurate overview of "140." The context provided only indicates "year," but doesn't specify what "140" refers to—it could be the year 140 AD, a reference to something that happened in 1940, or an entirely different meaning altogether.

Encyclopedic overview

Year 140 (CXL) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Hadrianus and Caesar (or, less frequently, year 893 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 140 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.
