AD 65 (LXV) was a common 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 Nerva and Vestinus (or, less frequently, year 818 Ab urbe condita). The denomination AD 65 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.

Events

April 19 – The freedman Milichus betrays the Pisonian conspiracy led by Gaius Calpurnius Piso to kill Emperor Nero and all the conspirators are arrested.
Cestius Gallus becomes legate of Syria.
After a stage performance in which he appears and shocks the senatorial class considerably, Nero engages in a series of reprisals against Seneca the Younger and Tigellinus, pro-republican senators, and anyone else he distrusts.
Nero's pregnant wife, Poppea Sabina, dies from Nero kicking her stomach or while having a miscarriage.

The Gospel of Matthew is probably written between AD 60 and this year.
Paul of Tarsus ordains Timothy as bishop of Ephesus (traditional date).
In China, the first official reference to Buddhism is made.
The first Christian community in Africa is founded by Mark, a disciple of Peter. Mark begins to write his gospel. The Gospel According to Mark is an anonymous work and there is no scholarly consensus on when it was first written though it was almost certainly written after the Temple at Jerusalem was destroyed. So this claim of such an early date of authorship presents the contents of the Gospel as prophetic.
The apostle Thaddeus, also called Saint Jude in Armenia, is probably martyred in this year (citation needed).
The apostle Simon the Zealot is probably martyred in Armenia in this year (citation needed).
