__NOTOC__
Year '''426''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CDXXVI]]''') 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 [[Theodosius II|Theodosius]] and [[Valentinian III|Valentinianus]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1179 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 426 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.
