__NOTOC__
Year '''445 BC''' was a year of the [[Roman calendar|pre-Julian Roman calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Augurinus and Philo''' (or, less frequently, '''year 309 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 445 BC 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.

=== By place ===
==== Greece ====
* [[Pericles]], concerned over the draining effect of years of war on [[Athens|Athenian]] manpower, looks for peace with the support of the Assembly. Athenian diplomat, [[Callias]], goes to [[Sparta]] and after much bargaining arranges a peace treaty with Sparta and her [[Peloponnesia]]n allies, thus extending the 5 year truce of [[451 BC]] for another 30 years. According to this treaty, [[Megara]] is to be returned to the [[Peloponnesian League]], [[Troezen]] and [[Achaea]] become independent, [[Aegina]] is to become a [[tributary]] to Athens but autonomous, and disputes are to be settled by [[arbitration]]. Each party agrees to respect the alliances of the other.

==== Roman Republic ====
* A new law, the ''[[Lex Canuleia]]'' removes the ban on inter-marriage of the [[Rome|Roman]] classes, i.e. [[plebeian]] with [[Patrician (ancient Rome)|patrician]].
* The Plebeians demand the right to stand for election as [[consul]] but the Roman senate refused to grant them this right. Ultimately, a compromise is reached, and consular command authority is granted to [[Consular Tribunes]] ("Military Tribunes with Consular powers" or tribuni militares consulari potestate).
