__NOTOC__
Year '''371''' ('''CCCLXXI''') was a [[common year starting on Saturday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of [[Gratian|Augustus]] and [[Sextus Claudius Petronius Probus|Petronius]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1124 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 371 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.
