__NOTOC__
Year '''422''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CDXXII]]''') was a [[common year starting on Sunday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of [[Honorius (emperor)|Honorius]] and [[Theodosius II|Theodosius]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1175 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 422 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.
