Year 2 BC was a
common year starting on Thursday or
Friday (link will display the full calendar) of the
Julian calendar (the sources differ, see
leap year error for further information) and a
common year starting on Wednesday of the
Proleptic Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the
Consulship of
Augustus and
Silvanus (or, less frequently, year 752
Ab urbe condita). The denomination 2 BC 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.
