435

Year 435 was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known in Rome as the Year of the Consulship of Theodosius and Valentinianus. The denomination 435 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.
