What is a Roman number?

Roman numerals are a group of symbols made up of capital letters that the ancient Romans devised to represent values and quantities.

Each number, in Roman numbers, is represented by a letter or combination of letters that, depending on the position in which they are found, will add or subtract value to the total number.

The Roman numeral system was used throughout the Roman Empire, remaining after its disappearance. Let us remember that Ancient Rome expanded from the Mediterranean Sea to the shores of the Red Sea. Therefore, due to the magnitude of the empire, after its fall, they left their mark on all the regions in which they settled.

What is the origin of Roman numerals?

**The appearance of Roman numerals** goes back throughout the history of Ancient Rome. These appeared in the writings of the eighth and ninth centuries BC. When the cultivation of the land and the domestication of animals began, the Romans saw the need to somehow count the herds and heads of cattle, so they began to use marks on the trunks of the trees, which ended up being Roman numbers.

As time passed, **Roman** numbers **became larger and larger** and they saw the need to invent symbols to keep accounts, so they began to make them by placing the symbols one after the other, using the letters as symbols of the elementary units. With this, the meaning of Roman numerals is given a beginning.

**In this way the symbols of Roman numerals** arise, establishing that the "I" for the unit, but when many units were presented and reaching ten "I" this was crossed out with an X and in this way it became the " X” in the number 10. **Later it was observed that writing “I” nine times** was very tedious and it was thought of creating half of 10 and that is when the “V” appears as the symbol in Roman numerals corresponding to the number 5.

What use do Roman numerals have?

Despite the time that has passed, there are still references in which this **Roman number numerical system** is still used, it is true that it is not used on a daily basis and that it is not the most usual but it is still maintained for certain aspects such as to **name the century** in which we find ourselves, we can see it in a multitude of clocks to mark the hours, in the chapters of books that are usually written in Roman numerals, etc.

The Roman numerals system is easy to learn and use, it is simply to take the trick that is obtained with practice and attention, you can take it as a game and even if you are creative, make your own secret language with others with the Roman numerals as its base.
