Detailed Description

Converting roman numerals to decimal.

Roman numerals, the numeric system in ancient Rome, uses combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet to signify values. The numbers 1 to 10, 50, 100, 500 e 1000 can be expressed in Roman numerals as follows:

I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, L, C, D, and M.

In the Middle Ages, a horizontal line was used above a particular numeral, or parentheses placed around it, to represent one thousand times that numeral.

\(\bar I\) or (I) for one thousand.
\(\bar V\) or (V) for five thousand.
