Year 333 (CCCXXXIII) was a common year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Dalmatius and Zenophilus (or, less frequently, year 1086 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 333 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.
333 is significant, and an interesting number because it symbolizes three, three times, thus taking the meaning of three and copying it thrice its normal capacity. 22 has the same connotation as does 4444. Also interesting is if you add up 3 + 3 + 3 it is the same as 3^2 or 3*3 seeing as how we have three three's, showing how multiplication is conceptually represented. Also, 4+4+4+4=16, which is also equal to 4^2 or 4*4. This actually makes multiplication and the squares of numbers rather interesting. Having four 3's is not as interesting, because that would be 3+3+3+3 which equals 12, and can also be deduced as six 2's, which ambiguity makes the numbers feel less special.
1 is really weird because 1*1=1 although there are three 1's listed in order to state the fact that there's only one 1, this can't be done with other numbers. 2*2=4, there's two 2's listed and it computes to 4 as is naturally suspected. As a result, the number 1 is a good repeating number.
333 is also the largest repeating number composed of prime's that is also its own summed square. 22 is smaller in quantitative value and therefore is computationally weaker than 333. 4444 can be broken down into 22222222, so again, the ambiguity is what makes 4444 less desirable than 333.
