A quick reference to roman numbers, aka roman numerals.
Numeral | I | V | X | L | C | D | M |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Number | 1 | 5 | 10 | 50 | 100 | 500 | 1,000 |
Special characters for larger numbers:
Numeral | D | ↀ | ↁ | ↂ | ↇ | ↈ |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Apostrophus | |Ɔ | C|Ɔ | |ƆƆ | CC|ƆƆ | |ƆƆƆ | CCC|ƆƆƆ |
Number | 500 | 1,000 | 5,000 | 10,000 | 50,000 | 100,000 |
In addtion to this there is the "Vinculum" notation. By adding a line over the numeral, the number is multiplied by 1,000. Like this example:
V = 5,000
Fractions of 12 were used eg. for coins. These have a special notation:
Fraction | Numeral | Alt. | Fraction | Numeral | Alt. | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1/12 | • | 7/12 | S• | |||
2/12 | •• | : | 8/12 | S•• | S: | |
