AI overview

I don't have sufficient context to write an accurate overview of "356 BC" as requested. The context provided only identifies it as a "year of the pre-Julian Roman calendar," but doesn't explain what made this particular year significant or notable. Without additional historical facts about events or developments that occurred in 356 BC, I cannot provide an accurate 2-sentence overview that explains both what it is and why it matters.
