The year 605 BC was a year of the pre-Julian Roman calendar. In the Roman Empire, it was known as year 149 Ab urbe condita. The denomination 605 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.
