 * Roman numerals** are a numeral system originating in ancient Rome, adapted from Etruscan numerals. The system used in classical antiquity was slightly modified in the middle ages to produce a system used today. It is based on certain letters which are given values as numerals. Roman numerals are commonly used in numbered lists (in outline format), clock faces, pages preceding the main body of a book, chord triads in music analysis, the numbering of movie publication dates, successive political leaders or children with identical names, and the numbering of some annual sport events. In general, the number zero did not have its own Roman numeral.
