387

Note

387

NOTOC Year 387 (CCCLXXXVII) was a common year starting on Friday of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known in Rome as the Year of the Consulship of Augustus and Eutropius (or, less frequently, '*year 1140 *Ab urbe condita'''''). The denomination 387 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.
