Subject: Re: Roman numerals
I'm not positive since I haven't studied them in depth,
but my understanding is that V with a bar over top of it is
five thousand and M is one thousand so 7000 would be:
_
V M M
then, we also know that
600 is DC
50 is L
9 is IX
Presumably we get 7659 if we put these together.
