Year 188 (CLXXXVIII) was a
leap year starting on Monday of the
Julian calendar. At the time, it was known in the Roman Empire as the Year of the Consulship of Fuscianus and Silanus (or, less frequently, year 941 ''Ab urbe condita''). The denomination 188 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the
Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
