Roman numerals are numbers that used to be used instead of the numbers today. They are letters that stand for numbers. Examples: III : 3 V : 5 XI : 11 LX : 60
Here are some examples. MCM - 1900, MCMLVI - 1956, MCML - 1950, MCMXXIX - 1929. They follow the same sequence as any other Roman numerals. They are correctly known as Roman numerals and not Roman numbers. People use both phrases, but Roman numerals is the correct term. Roman numerals is one surviving example of Latin. An odd feature of the Roman numerals is that they do not use a zero.
Some use roman numerals because some doesn't know numbers, so instead it is roman numerals.
Spend a day using only roman numerals instead of Arabic numerals. The disadvantages will become painfully obvious.
