348 BC

348 BC
The west Mediterranean in 348 BC.

NOTOC Year 348 BC was a year of the pre-Julian Roman calendar. At the time it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Corvus and Laenas (or, less frequently, '*year 406 *Ab urbe condita'''''). The denomination 348 BC 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.
