AI overview

I can't write an accurate overview based solely on "year" as context, since "68" could refer to many different things (the year 1968, 2068, the number 68 in various contexts, etc.). To provide you with an accurate and neutral 2-sentence overview, I would need more specific context about which "68" you're asking about.

AD 68 (LXVIII) was a leap year starting on Friday of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Silius Italicus and Trachalus, or the start of the Year of the Four Emperors (or, less frequently, year 821 Ab urbe condita). The denomination AD 68 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. These are now used throughout the world.
