__NOTOC__
Year '''264''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CCLXIV]]''') was a [[leap year starting on Friday]] (link will display the full calendar) of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Gallienus and Saturninus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1017 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 264 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.
