AI overview
I don't have enough context to provide an accurate overview. You've indicated that "396" relates to a year, but without additional information about what historical event, discovery, or subject matter is being referenced for that year, I cannot write a factually accurate explanation. Could you provide more context about what aspect of 396 you'd like me to cover?

Year 396 (CCCXCVI) was a leap year starting on Tuesday of the Julian calendar. In the Roman Empire, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Augustus and Augustus (or, less frequently, year 1149 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 396 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.
