Roman numeral

The Roman numerals "M.DC.LXXVIII." indicate the founding date (1678) of a church. The modern style does not include the periods found on this sign, so the numerals would be formatted "MDCLXXVIII" instead.

Noun

  • A numeral represented using a Roman system involving the letters I, V, X, L, C, D, and M.
  • The system using such letters.
