{{Year nav|-652}}{{BC year in topic|652}}The year 652 BC was a year of the pre-Julian Roman calendar. In the Roman Empire, it was known as year 102 Ab urbe condita . The denomination 652 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.

Gyges falls in a battle against the Cimmerians under king Tugdamme (approximate date).
