Description
Roman Numerals are symbols ancient Romans used to represent numerical values. Similar to how "1" represents the concept of the one/the first number/singularity the symbol "I" represents the same. Roman numerals tend to follow a system where any given symbol can only be used up to a maximum 4 times when representing a specific number and each symbol represents a numerical unit. Depicting that unit multiple times represents higher values.
