<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 tools like fingers, sticks, and bones to count. As life became more complex, a<a>standard form</a>was required for counting. Ancient Romans used the Roman Numeral system for this purpose. The symbols I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000) were used to count.</p>
