__NOTOC__
Year '''387''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CCCLXXXVII]]''') was a [[common year starting on Friday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known in Rome as the '''Year of the Consulship of [[Valentinian II|Augustus]] and [[Eutropius (historian)|Eutropius]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1140 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 387 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.
