__NOTOC__

Year '''333''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CCCXXXIII]]''') was a [[common year starting on Monday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Dalmatius and Zenophilus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1086 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 333 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.
