Year '''368''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CCCLXVIII]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Tuesday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of [[Valentinian I|Augustus]] and [[Valens]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1121 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 368 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.
