Frequently asked questions
What are the Roman numeral symbols?
I = 1, V = 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100, D = 500, M = 1000. Smaller values before larger ones are subtracted (IV = 4, IX = 9).
Why is the maximum 3999?
Standard Roman numerals only go up to 3999 (MMMCMXCIX); larger numbers historically used a bar (vinculum) for ×1000, which is rarely used today.
Why is IIII invalid?
A symbol may repeat at most three times; 4 is written IV (subtractive notation), not IIII.
Is there a zero in Roman numerals?
No — the Roman system has no symbol for zero.
