__NOTOC__
Year '''106 BC''' was a year of the [[Roman calendar|pre-Julian Roman calendar]]. At the time it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Caepio and Serranus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 648 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]''''') and the '''Fifth Year of Yuanfeng'''. The denomination 106 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.
