__NOTOC__
Year '''334''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CCCXXXIV]]''') was a [[common year starting on Tuesday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Optatus and Caesonius''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1087 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 334 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.
