I can't provide an accurate overview based only on "179" and "year" as context, since this could refer to many different things (a historical year, a document, a law, a specific event, etc.). To give you a helpful and accurate 2-sentence overview, I would need more specific information about what "179" refers to.

Year 179 (CLXXIX) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Aurelius and Verus (or, less frequently, year 932 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 179 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.
