Frequently Asked Questions

What are Roman numerals?

How do you read Roman numerals?
Roman numerals are read from left to right. When a smaller numeral appears before a larger one, it is subtracted (e.g., IV = 4, IX = 9). When a smaller numeral appears after a larger one, it is added (e.g., VI = 6, XI = 11). Numerals should be arranged in descending order of value, except for subtractive cases.
