I cannot provide an accurate 2-sentence overview of "459" based solely on the context that it is a "year," as this is insufficient information to determine what specific significance "459" has or why it matters.

Year 459 (CDLIX) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known in the Roman Empire as the Year of the Consulship of Ricimer and Patricius (or, less frequently, year 1212 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 459 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.
