Year '''403''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CDIII]]''') was a [[common year starting on Thursday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of [[Theodosius II|Theodosius]] and [[Rumoridus]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1156 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 403 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.
