Year 88 (LXXXVIII) was a leap year starting on Tuesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Augustus and Rufus (or less frequently year 841 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 88 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.
