__NOTOC__
Year '''411''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CDXI]]''') was a [[common year starting on Sunday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known in Rome as the '''Year of the Consulship of [[Theodosius II|Theodosius]] without colleague''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1164 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 411 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.
