Year **245** (**[CCXLV](/source/Roman_numerals)**) was a [common year starting on Wednesday](/source/Common_year_starting_on_Wednesday) of the [Julian calendar](/source/Julian_calendar). At the time, it was known as the **Year of the Consulship of Philippus and Titianus** (or, less frequently, **year 998 *[Ab urbe condita](/source/Ab_urbe_condita)***). The denomination 245 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the [Anno Domini](/source/Anno_Domini) [calendar era](/source/Calendar_era) became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
