Script error: No such module "Year in various calendars". Year 429 (CDXXIX) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Florentius and Dionysius (or, less frequently, year 1182 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 429 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. However, you can call it the 429th year of the Common Era and the Anno Domini designation, the 429th year of the first millennium, the 29th year of the 5th century, and the 10th and last year of the 420s decade.
