Year '''449''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CDXLIX]]''') was a [[common year starting on Saturday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of [[Astyrius]] and [[Florentius Romanus Protogenes|Romanus]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1202 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 449 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.
