The Roman numerals are those that were used from Ancient Rome until the fall of the Roman Empire. This system is made up of seven capital letters that are equivalent to a number in the decimal system. And, that to achieve certain figures, they must be combined with each other.
These numbers have practically fallen into disuse, but they are associated with the numbering of certain issues, such as the chapters of a book or to list the centuries. Also, to list congresses or meetings.
