The year 19 BC was a time of important events in the ancient world. It was part of the Julian calendar, which was used by the Roman Empire. People in Rome knew this year as the Year of the Consulship of Saturninus and Vespillo. A consul was a very high-ranking official in the Roman government, similar to a president or prime minister today.
