Year '''492''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CDXCII]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Wednesday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of [[Anastasius I Dicorus|Anastasius]] and Rufus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1245 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 492 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.
