Emperor [Honorius](/source/Honorius_(emperor)), by [Jean-Paul Laurens](/source/Jean-Paul_Laurens)

Year **393** (**[CCCXCIII](/source/Roman_numerals)**) was a [common year starting on Saturday](/source/Common_year_starting_on_Saturday) of the [Julian calendar](/source/Julian_calendar). At the time, it was known as the **Year of the Consulship of [Augustus](/source/Theodosius_I) and [Augustus](/source/Eugenius)** (or, less frequently, **year 1146 *[Ab urbe condita](/source/Ab_urbe_condita)***). The denomination 393 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.
