__NOTOC__
Year '''470''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CDLXX]]''') was a [[common year starting on Thursday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of [[Messius Phoebus Severus|Severus]] and [[Iordanes (consul)|Iordanes]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1223 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 470 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.
