Year 244 (CCXLIV) was a leap year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Armenius and Aemilianus (or less frequently year 997 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 244 for this year has been used since the early medieval period when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
