__NOTOC__
Year '''466''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CDLXVI]]''') was a [[common year starting on Saturday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of [[Leo I (emperor)|Leo]] and Tatianus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1219 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 466 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.
