What Are Roman Numerals?

Roman numerals are a system of numbering used in Ancient Rome that employs seven symbols from the Latin alphabet (I, V, X, L, C, D, and M) to represent numerical values. Reading a Roman numeral depends on the position of its symbols: the general rule is to add the values, but if a symbol of smaller value precedes one of larger value, the first is subtracted from the second (e.g., IV = 4, IX = 9). This system was widely used for almost two millennia and is still seen on clocks, in books, and on monuments.
