__NOTOC__
Year '''245''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CCXLV]]''') was a [[common year starting on Wednesday]] (link will display the full calendar) of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Philippus and Titianus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 998 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 245 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.
