Calendar year
Year
525
(
DXXV
) was a
common year starting on Wednesday
(link will display the full calendar) of the
Julian calendar
. At the time, it was known as the
Year of the Consulship of
Probus
and Philoxenus
(or, less frequently,
year 1278
Ab urbe condita
). The denomination 525 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. In this year, the monk
Dionysius Exiguus
proposed a calendar starting with the birth of Jesus (the AD system), so this was the first time the year was designated AD. However, the system was not used in general until the reign of Charlemagne in the 9th century.
