Note — A dash line over a numeral multiplies
the value by 1,000: thus, X̄ = 10,000; L̄ = 50,000;
C̄ = 100,000; D̄ = 500,000; M̄ = 1,000,000;
CLIX = 159,000; DLIX = 559,000.
Other general rules in Roman numerals are as
follows: (1) repeating a letter repeats its value
— XX = 20; CCC = 300; (2) a letter placed
after one of greater value adds thereto — VI = 6;
DC = 600; (3) a letter placed before one of
greater value subtracts therefrom — IV = 4.
Arabic numerals are those now commonly in
use — 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, etc.
