55. Roman Notation employs seven capital letters to express numbers. Thus,

Letters. I, V, X, L, C, D, M. Values. 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000.

When used alone, each letter has its fixed value.

Numbers may be expressed by combining these letters according to the following principles:

1. Repeating a letter repeats its value.

Thus, XX represents 20; CCC, 300; DD, 1000.

2. When a letter is placed after one of greater value, its value is to be added to that of the greater.

Thus, VI represents 6; XV, 15; LXX, 70; DC, 600.

3. When a letter is placed before one of greater value, its value is taken from that of the greater.

Thus, IV represents 4; IX, 9; XL, 40; XC, 90.

4. When a letter of any value is placed between two letters, each of greater value, its value is taken from the sum of the other two.

Thus, XIV represents 14; LIX, 59; CXL, 140.

5. A bar or dash placed over a letter increases its value one thousand times.

Thus, X represents 10000; XC, 90000; DL, 550000.
