__NOTOC__
The year '''503 BC''' was a year of the [pre-Julian Roman calendar](/source/Roman_calendar). In the [Roman Empire](/source/Roman_Empire) it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Lanatus and Tubertus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 251 '' [Ab urbe condita](/source/Ab_urbe_condita)'''''). The denomination 503 BC 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.
