__NOTOC__
Year '''443 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 Macerinus and Barbatus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 311 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 443 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.

=== By place ===
==== Roman Republic ====
* No [[consul]]s are elected in [[Rome]], but rather military [[tribune]]s with consular power are appointed in their stead. While only [[Patrician (ancient Rome)|patricians]] could be consuls, some military tribunes were plebeians. These positions had responsibility for the census, a vital function in the financial administration of Rome. So to stop the [[plebeians]] from possibly gaining control of the [[census]], the patricians remove from the consuls and tribunes the right to take the census, and rather entrust it to two [[magistrates]], called ''censores'' who were to be chosen exclusively from the patricians in Rome.

==== Italy ====
* [[Pericles]] founds the [[colony]] of [[Thurii]] near the site of the former city of [[Sybaris]], in southern Italy. Its [[colonist]]s include [[Herodotus]] and [[Lysias]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Princeton Encyclopedia of Classical Sites, TABERNAE (Lalla Djillalia) Morocco. , THIVERNY Oise, France. , THURII later COPIA, Apulia, Italy. |url=https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.04.0006:alphabetic+letter=T:entry+group=4:entry=thurii |access-date=2024-07-10 |website=www.perseus.tufts.edu}}</ref>
