Roman numerals are a numbering system using combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet (I, V, X, L, C, D, M), historically important for their widespread use in ancient Rome and continued usage in various contexts today, including carpentry as evidenced by 17th-century carpenters' marks on timber.
