<p>Royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on, use Roman numerals. Have you noticed these<a>symbols</a>(I and II) and wondered what they represent? These are Roman numerals. In ancient times, people counted using fingers, sticks, bones, etc. As life became more complex, a<a>standard form</a>was needed for counting. Ancient Romans developed the Roman numeral system. The symbols I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000) are used in this system.</p>
