About Roman Numerals
Roman numerals are a numeral system that originated in ancient Rome and remained the usual way of writing numbers throughout Europe well into the Late Middle Ages. Numbers in this system are represented by combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet.
- Basic Symbols: I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), M (1000).
- Subtractive Notation: Smaller value symbols before larger value symbols indicate subtraction (e.g., IV = 4, IX = 9).
- Additive Notation: Symbols are added together when placed in descending order of value (e.g., VI = 6, XI = 11).
- No Zero: Roman numerals do not have a symbol for zero.
