__NOTOC__<br />
Year '''354''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CCCLIV]]''') was a [[common year starting on Saturday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Constantius and Constantius''' (or, less frequently, '''year 1107 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 354 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.<br />
