Year 233 BC was a year of the pre-Julian Roman calendar. It was formerly known as the Year of the Consulship of Verrucosus and Matho (or, less frequently, year 521 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 233 BC has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
