__NOTOC__
Year '''479''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CDLXXIX]]''') was a [[common year starting on Monday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of [[Zeno (emperor)|Zeno]] without colleague''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1232 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 479 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.
