__NOTOC__
Year '''453 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 Quinctilius and Trigeminus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 301 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 453 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.
