Thousands of years ago in ancient Rome, the Romans used a system of numbers that we call Roman numerals. The history of Roman numerals dates back to 1st millennium BC (公元前一千年) when the Romans started to record (记录) numbers in stone. Today they are mostly used for watch and clock faces and chapter headings, etc.
In this system, I = 1, V = 5, X =10, L = 50, = 100, D = 500, and M = 1,000. Unlike our system of numbers, Roman numerals express numbers as sums and differences (和与差). For example, 6 is VI (5+1), but nine is IX (10-1). In general, when a smaller Roman numeral follows a larger numeral, you add the numbers (for example, XII is 10+1+1=12). When a larger numeral follows a smaller one, you subtract the numbers (for example, IV is 5-1-4, and XL is 50-10 = 40).
Now in most parts of the world, people use Arabic numbers (0-9). The Arabic number system came into use in Europe in about 900 AD and it soon became very popular because it was easy to study.
