__NOTOC__
Year '''363 BC''' was a year of the [[Roman calendar|pre-Julian Roman calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Aventinensis and Mamercinus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 391 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 363 BC 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.
