Year '''226''' ('''[[Roman numerals|CCXXVI]]''') was a [[common year starting on Sunday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Severus and Marcellus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 979 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 226 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 />
