The [Theodosian Walls](/source/Walls_of_Constantinople#Theodosian_Walls) ([Constantinople](/source/Constantinople))

Year **412** (**[CDXII](/source/Roman_numerals)**) was a [leap year starting on Monday](/source/Leap_year_starting_on_Monday) of the [Julian calendar](/source/Julian_calendar). At the time, it was known in Europe as the **Year of the Consulship of [Honorius](/source/Honorius_(emperor)) and [Theodosius](/source/Theodosius_II)** (or, less frequently, **year 1165 *[Ab urbe condita](/source/Ab_urbe_condita)***). The denomination 412 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.
