22 was a year in the 1st century. It was a common year, meaning it did not have an extra day like a leap year. This year started on a Thursday according to the Julian calendar, which was the main calendar used by the Romans. At that time, people knew it as the Year of the Consulship of Agrippa and Galba. This name came from the two most important Roman officials, called consuls, who were in charge that year.
