The Year '''345''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CCCXLV]]''') was a [[common year starting on Tuesday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Amantius and Albinus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1098 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 345 for this year has been used ever since the early medieval period, when the [[Anno Domini]] [[calendar era]] became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
