Year 272 (CCLXXII) was a leap year that began on Monday in the Julian calendar. It was known at the time as the Year of the Consulship of Postumius and Veldumnianus, and it was also counted as 1025 Ab urbe condita. The use of the label “272” started in the early Middle Ages when the Anno Domini era became the standard way to name years in Europe.
