'''AD 11''' ('''[[Roman numerals|XI]]''') was a [[common year starting on Thursday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the [[Consulship]] of [[Manius Aemilius Lepidus (consul 11)|Lepidus]] and [[Titus Statilius Taurus (consul 11)|Taurus]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 764 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 11 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.
