The year 25 BC was a time long ago. It happened before the year zero. People back then used a calendar called the Julian calendar. This year was either a regular year or a leap year. In those days, people called it the Year of the Consulship of Augustus and Silanus. This was because two important leaders, Augustus and Silanus, were in charge.
