Year '''231''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CCXXXI]]''') was a [[common year starting on Saturday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known in Rome as the '''Year of the Consulship of Claudius and Sallustus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 984 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 231 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.
