__NOTOC__
Year '''432''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CDXXXII]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Friday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of [[Flavius Aetius (magister militum)|Aetius]] and [[Valerius (consul 432)|Valerius]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1185 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 432 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.
