32 was a year in the 1st century. It was a special year called a leap year. This means it had an extra day, February 29th, making it 366 days long instead of the usual 365. It started on a Tuesday, according to the Julian calendar, which was the main calendar used by the Romans. Back then, people often named years after the important leaders, called Consuls, who were in charge. So, 32 was known as the Year of the Consulship of Ahenobarbus and Camillus.
