DCCLXXIII

DCCLXXIII is a Roman numeral that represents the year 673. The numeral consists of the numbers 600, 70, and 3 combined in a specific way. Breaking it down, DC represents 600, which is equated to the number 600 in the Roman numeral system. The next digit, CLXX, stands for 120 in Roman numerals. Finally, the third and last character, III, is an additive phrase for three.

One notable event occurred around the same time as the year 673. The English monastery at Lindisfarne in Northumbria was raided by Viking invaders, with the date of the raid written as Saturday, 8 June 793 by the Viking Annals. A plausible possibility is that the raid on the monastery could be related.
