__NOTOC__
Year '''223''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CCXXIII]]''') was a [[common year starting on Wednesday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Maximus and Aelianus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 976 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 223 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.
