How Old R U?

[DanB]

nope thats correct!

j/k

The general rule, I think anyway, is to never put more than one (-) (ie I in IV), so while this IIX works, this one is more correct VIII?

I'm just guessing, though.

[DanB]

yeah thats right. For someone reason i had to learn this at school, not sure why though considering the romans have been dead a long long time by then!!

I=1
II=2
III=3
IV=4
V=5
VI=6

X=10

L=50

C=100

M=1000

Or am I wrong?

D=500

You general rule is correct, but IIX doesn't fit that rule.

VII=7
VIII=8
VIIII=9 OR IX=9

I'm not well.

And 10000?

Sorry to hear you are not well, serves you right for taking a swipe at my people, though

[lynx]

10000? I don&#39;t think the Romans counted that high.

With things other than people, they started just going by the weight, and the only reason to count so many people was in the army, but at those sort of numbers they talked about cohorts and legions.


I&#39;m not taking a swipe at your people, everybody loves the Swedish Chef.
And anyway, I&#39;m in good health, I was simply answering the question.

Edit: I suppose I should have said I&#39;m not wel.
