In the Roman numeric system, each letter carries a numeric value. For example, I is equal to 1.
I = 1
V = 5
X = 10
L = 50
C = 100
D = 500
M = 1,000
However, if a smaller numeral is located immediately before a larger numeral, then that value (the smaller number) is subtracted from the larger number.
For example XL = 40, even though X = 10 and L = 50. If the X is first, then the following value is minus its value.
Therefore, MMXIV would equal 2014 (M = 1000, M = 1000, X = 10, IV = 4).
2014
Nowadays MMXIV represents 2014 in Roman numerals but the ancient Romans probably wrote them out quite diffently
2014
1000 + 1000 + 10 + (5-1) = 2000 + 10 + 4
MMXIV
Nowadays the equivalent of 2014 as a Roman numeral is MMXIV but the ancient Romans would have notated it quite differently.
The roman numeral for 2014 is: MMXIV. M = 1000 M = 1000 X = 10 IV = 4 Add them together and you come to 2014.
Nowadays 2014 converted into Roman numerals is considered to be MMXIV but the ancient Romans probably wrote it out quite differently
1,000 = M so 2,000 = MM and 2014 year = MMXIV for example

mmxiv 1,000 + 1,000 + 10 + (5-1)
The roman numeral for 2014 is: MMXIV. M = 1000 M = 1000 X = 10 IV = 4 Add them together and you come to 2014.
Nowadays 2014 converted into Roman numerals is considered to be MMXIV but the ancient Romans probably wrote it out quite differently
1,000 = M so 2,000 = MM and 2014 year = MMXIV for example
Nowadays it is MMXIV but in ancient Rome it once was MMXIIII
No because in todays modern notation of Roman numerals 2014 is MMXIV But the ancient Romans would have chose MMXIIII because they would never ever write out 4 as IV as it was seen to be an insult to their greatest of gods Jupiter whose name in Latin begins with IV thus reducing his name to a number rather than a god.
MMXIV
Under today's rules now governing the Roman numeral system it is VII-III-MMXIV but the ancient Romans would have notated the equivalent of 2014 quite differently.
M so 2014 is MMXIV for example
