Cute Idea!

But wildly inaccurate. Talossan Numerals, indeed. As you suggest, there are actually some rules to Roman numeral order. You must separate the ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands as separate items -- and no decimals. That means that 49 is XLIX (40 + 9) and never IL. Same goes for 95 (XCV), 99 (XCIX), 199 (CXCIX), 500 (D! LOL - nice try.), 994 (CMXCIV), 995 (CMXCV), and 1950 (MCML).

However, 4 (IV), 5 (V), 210 (CCX), 550 (DL) are absolutely correct (Ieremiac'h, Viteu, Carlüs and Danihel). ~ Sevastáin Pinátsch TinyQuill.gif 14:52, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
