Year '''228''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CCXXVIII]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Tuesday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Modestus and Maecius''' (or, less frequently, '''year 981 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 228 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.
