ROMAN NUMBERS
Introduction:
The Romans used symbols to represent numbers. They were able to create a system to express all numbers, from 1 to 1000.000 using only seven letters. We don’t count with Roman numbers now, but we see them everywhere. We use them on some clocks and watches, on posters, and sometimes on pictures and statues.In occidental Europe this system was substituted, for general uses, by Arabian numeration in the XIV century.
The symbols:
Here are the symbols that the Romans used:I means 1V means 5X means 10L means 50C means 100D means 500M means 1000They didn’t have a symbol for zero.
How to read Roman numbers:
To read Roman numbers, add the symbols together. But be careful! When there is a small number before a big number, you subtract the small number from the big number.
These are the works that we create to practice this unit “About me”
