475 BC

NOTOC Year 475 BC was a year of the pre-Julian Roman calendar. In the Roman Republic, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Poplicola and Rutilus (or, less frequently, '*year 279 *Ab urbe condita'''''). The denomination 475 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.
