The Year **345** (**[CCCXLV](/source/Roman_numerals)**) was a [common year starting on Tuesday](/source/Common_year_starting_on_Tuesday) of the [Julian calendar](/source/Julian_calendar). At the time, it was known as the **Year of the Consulship of Amantius and Albinus** (or, less frequently, **year 1098 *[Ab urbe condita](/source/Ab_urbe_condita)***).
