Year 89 (also written as LXXXIX in Roman numerals) was a regular year that started on a Thursday. It was part of the Julian calendar, which was used a long time ago. Back then, people knew it as the Year of the Consulship of Fulvus and Atratinus. A consul was like a top leader in ancient Rome. Sometimes, people also called it year 842 Ab urbe condita, which means "from the founding of the city" (referring to Rome). The way we use "89" for this year became common much later, during the medieval period, when the Anno Domini (AD) system for naming years became popular in Europe.
