50 (Roman numerals: L) was a common year that started on a Saturday. It's part of the Gregorian calendar, which is the calendar system most of the world uses today.
This year is special because its Roman numeral, L, is just one letter! Only seven years in history use only one Roman numeral. These years are 1 AD (I), 5 AD (V), 10 AD (X), 50 AD (L), 100 AD (C), 500 AD (D), and 1000 AD (M).

Roman Empire: Birth of Londinium
In the year 50 AD, the Romans were busy expanding their lands. They started building a new city in what is now England. This city was called Londinium. It was built right next to the River Thames.
Londinium quickly became an important place for trade and travel. It helped the Romans control the area and move goods around. Today, this ancient Roman settlement is known as London, the capital city of England.
