I can't write an accurate overview of "24 BC" based solely on the word "year" as context. To provide you with a factual, neutral 2-sentence explanation of what happened in or why 24 BC matters historically, I would need additional historical information about that specific year.

(Learn how and when to remove this message)

Year 24 BC was either a common year starting on Thursday, Friday or Saturday or a leap year starting on Friday of the Julian calendar (the sources differ, see leap year error for further information) and a common year starting on Thursday of the Proleptic Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Augustus and Flaccus (or, less frequently, year 730 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 24 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.
