Roman Numerals are the symbols used by the Roman Empire to show numeric values.
- I = 1
- V = 5
- X = 10
- L = 50
- C = 100
- D = 500
- M = 1000
Symbols are put in order from greatest to least. A lesser symbol occurring before a greater symbol is subtraction. They can still be found today when showing dates for movies or television shows.
- Example: MCMLXXXIII = 1983
- Example: MCC = 1200
