Year '''444''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CDXLIV]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Saturday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of [[Theodosius II|Theodosius]] and [[Albinus (consul 444)|Aginatius]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1197 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 444 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.
