Presumably you're referring to Roman numerals?

Any numeral with an horizontal line above it indicates multiplication by a thousand.

The little known Roman numeral which looks like an S represents a half and the Latin word for it is semis meaning a half.

Therefore, S with a line above it would equal D (1000*1/2 = 500)
