Year '''424''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CDXXIV]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Tuesday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of [[Castinus]] and Victor''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1177 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 424 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.
