__NOTOC__
Year '''286''' ('''[CCLXXXVI](/source/Roman_numerals)''') was a [common year starting on Friday](/source/common_year_starting_on_Friday) of the [Julian calendar](/source/Julian_calendar). At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Maximus and Aquilinus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1039 ''[Ab urbe condita](/source/Ab_urbe_condita)'''''). The denomination 286 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the [Anno Domini](/source/Anno_Domini) [calendar era](/source/calendar_era) became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
