The Roman numeral system, an ancient method of counting and numbering, has seven primary symbols: I, V, X, L, C, D, and M. These symbols represent the numbers 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1000 respectively. The numeral MDCVI is a combination of these symbols and translates to 1606 in our modern number system. This is determined by adding the values of each symbol together: M is 1000, D is 500, C is 100, V is 5, and I is 1. You can explore more about Roman numerals on our website.
