__NOTOC__
Year '''374 BC''' was a year of the [[Roman calendar|pre-Julian Roman calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Second year without Tribunate or Consulship''' (or, less frequently, '''year 380 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 374 BC 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.
