Year **514** (**[DXIV](/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 [Cassiodorus](/source/Cassiodorus) without colleague** (or, less frequently, **year 1267 *[Ab urbe condita](/source/Ab_urbe_condita)***). The denomination 514 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.
