Tags: Year.
Year 541 (DXLI) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Basilius without colleague (or less frequently year 1294 Ab urbe condita). Basilius is the last person to be officially appointed Roman consul since after this year the office is merged with the office of Byzantine empire. Thus from the next year forward the consular year dating is abandoned.
