FAQ

How do Roman numerals work?
They combine the letters I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500) and M (1000). Smaller values before a larger one are subtracted: IV is 4, IX is 9, XL is 40.
Why does it stop at 3999?
Standard Roman numerals only go up to 3999 (MMMCMXCIX). Larger numbers need an overline notation that isn't part of the everyday system.
Is there a year zero in Roman numerals?
No. The Romans had no symbol for zero, so the system starts at I (1).
