Roman numeral
Ancient counting symbol
Roman numerals are the letters used in the ancient Roman system for representing numbers: I, V, X, L, C, D, and M stand for 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1000 respectively.
Values are determined by adding symbols (VI = 6) or subtracting when a smaller precedes a larger (IV = 4).
Roman numerals persist in formal contexts like clock faces, movie sequel titles, Super Bowl numbering, and outline formatting.
The copyright date appeared in Roman numerals at the end of the film.
