| | Roman numerals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The lack of a zero digit prevented Roman numerals from developing into a positional notation, and led to their gradual replacement by Arabic numerals in the early second millennium. | | | In general, the number zero did not have its own Roman numeral, but the concept of zero as a number was well known by all medieval computists (responsible for calculating the date of Easter). | | | The system of Roman numerals is a numeral system originating in ancient Rome, and was adapted from Etruscan numerals. |

| | The Roman numbering system also lives on in our languages, which still use Latin word roots to express numerical ideas. | | | The big differences between Roman and Arabic numerals (the ones we use today) are that Romans didn't have a symbol for zero, and that numeral placement within a number can sometimes indicate subtraction rather than addition. | | | Roman numerals traditionally indicate the order of rulers or ships who share the same name (i.e. |

| | Alphabets: A Brief Introduction |
| | There are numerous other alphabets in use today that are descended from the Phoenician alphabet but not from the Roman alphabet. | | | The Romans wrote numbers with seven letters of the alphabet (i.e., Roman numerals) rather than with the Arabic numerals that are almost universally used today. | | | The most common example is Arabic numerals, each of which has the same meaning regardless of which language or dialect it is used in and how it is pronounced. |

| | Articles - Greek numerals |
| | In modern Greece, they are still in use for ordinal numbers, and in much the same situations as Roman numerals are in the West; for ordinary numbers, Arabic numerals are used. | | | The earliest system of numerals in Greek was acrophonic, operating much like Roman numerals (which derived from this scheme), with the following acrophonic formula: Π= 1, Π= 5, Π= 10, Π= 100, Χ = 1000, and Π= 10000. | | | This system was probably adapted from Babylonian numerals by Hipparchus c. |

| | Roman numerals were used primarily for counting, mainly taxation, as the ancients had little use for, or understanding of, "calculation" or arithmetic as we know it today. | | | Only seven numeral characters (septal?) were used and when a numeral was over barred (in the later years of the use of Roman Numerals), it represented the base character value, multiplied by a thousand. | | | Roman Numerals, as a recognized number representation, was the standard, and as far as we know, the only number system used by the Roman empire and other ancient European civilizations until the Arabic system was introduced. |

| | Roman numerals |
| | Roman numerals remained in common use until about the 14th century, when they were replaced by Arabic numerals (thought to have been introduced to Europe from al-Andalus, by way of Arab traders and arithmetic treatises, around the 11th century). | | | In chemistry, Roman numerals were used to denote the group in the periodic table of the elements. | | | Since the French use capital Roman numerals to refer to the quarters of the year ('III' is the third quarter), and this has become the norm in some European standards organisation, the mixed Roman-Arabic method of recording the date has switched to lowercase Roman numerals in many circles, as '4-viii-1961'. |
