  1. Latin - Roman Numerals • Michael Cerrato • Latin 8 • Mrs.DiPalma

  2. Roman Numerals • The history of Roman numerals and Roman mathematics isn't well documented. As humans likely began counting by using the simplest things available, the fingers, mathematics developed in a base unit of 10. Actively involved in trade and the use of monetary units, the Romans required a system where counting was more than fingers. The development of the numeric symbols may have been closely related, originally, to the shape of the hand: I for a single finger, V for the whole hand outstretched, X for both hands in the same manner.

  3. Roman Numeral : • I ; Unus, -a, -um = One • This came from the Romans symbolizing the letter ‘ I ‘ for one finger.

  4. Roman Numeral : • II ; Duo, -ae, -o = Two

  5. Roman Numeral : • III ; Tres, Tres, Tria = Three

  6. Roman Numeral 4 : • Quattuor = Four • The reason why four is not symbolized as IIII if the letter in front of it expresses greater amount you subtract the 2. • This also represented the Roman God Jupiter.

  7. Roman Numeral : • Quinque = Five • The symbol for 5 which is a V came from the romans. It’s meant to symbolize all 5 fingers.

  8. Roman Numeral : VI • Sex = Six • Since the number is above 5, you have to use the V to symbolize 5 and then add additional numerals to equal the number your expressing.

  9. Roman Numeral : • Septem = Seven

  10. Roman Numeral : • Octo = Eight • Octo now is expressed usually in shapes with anything that has 8 sides but to the Romans it had no meaning.

  11. Roan Numeral : • IX ; Novem = Nine • All the digits that are the factor of 5 will always have the same rules.

  12. Roman Numeral : • X ; Decem = Ten • The symbolize to the Romans was meant to symbolize both hands.

  13. Roman Numeral : • L ; Quinquaginta = fifty

  14. Roman Numeral : • C ; Centum = a hundred • The symbol ‘ C ‘ is a short way to abreivate Centum.

  15. Roman Numeral : • D ; Quingenti, -ae, -a ; Five hundred

  16. Roman Numeral : • M ; Millie = a thousand

  17. Roman Numeral : Zero • Zero did not have a Roman numeral because the Romans felt it was not important. • Zero was expressed by saying “Nulla” which means None.
