<p>The royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on. Have you noticed the names and wondered what these<a>symbols</a>(I and II) represented? Those are the Roman numerals. Earlier people used to count using fingers, sticks, bones, etc. to count earlier. When life became complex, a<a>standard form</a>was required to count. Ancient Romans used the Roman numeral system to count. I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000) are the symbols we use to count.</p>

<p>The<a>addition</a>method is used when the smaller number is placed after the larger number. For example, VIII → V + III → 5 + 3 = 8. For 258, CCLVIII is written as C + C + L + V + III, which equals 100 + 100 + 50 + 5 + 3 = 258.</p>
