__NOTOC__
Year '''489''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CDLXXXIX]]''') was a [[common year starting on Sunday]] (link will display the full calendar) of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of [[Petronius Probinus (consul 489)|Probinus]] and [[Eusebius (consul 489)|Eusebius]]''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1242 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 489 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.
