The year 65 BC was a year of the pre-Julian Roman calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Cotta and Torquatus (or, less frequently, the year 689 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 65 BC 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.
