Roman Numerals is an ancient number system supposedly started thousands and thousands of years ago in Rome by the Estrucans (pronounced, U-tres-cans). Although there are no truly accurate written records of roman numerals and their use we do know that it was created for trade purposes. There is no zero in the roman numerals, in the number ten the zero is not letter. Roman numerals are based on the letters of our alphabet. Roman numerals are also near the left shoulder on super bowl jerseys. Some examples of how they're used in modern times are hour marks on some clocks, names of monarchs and Popes, and historic events. Sometimes they even show up in crossword puzzles! Roman numerals are based on the letters of our alphabet. Well that's roman numerals for you, and no matter how long or how in-depth we study them we will probably never know the true history of this ancient and mysterious number system.
