__NOTOC__
Year '''360''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CCCLX]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Saturday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Constantius and Iulianus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1113 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 360 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.
