Roman numerals are a numeral system of ancient Rome based on letters of the alphabet, which are combined to signify the sum of their values. The first ten Roman numerals are:

The Roman numeral system is decimal but not directly positional and does not include a zero. It is a cousin of the Etruscan numerals, and the letters derive from earlier non-alphabetical symbols; over time the Romans came to identify the symbols with letters of the Latin alphabet. The system was modified slightly during the Middle Ages to produce the system used today.

Roman numerals are commonly used in numbered lists (such as the outline format of an article), clock faces, pages preceding the main body of a book, chord triads in music analysis, dated notices of copyright, months of the year, successive political leaders or children with identical names, and the numbering of annual events. See modern usage below.

For arithmetic involving Roman numerals, see Roman arithmetic and Roman abacus.

What do Roman numerals designate in Arabic alphabets?
Q. I have noticed usage of these Roman numerals as substitutes of Arabic alphabets in some websites: 2 as 3 as 5 as 6 as 7 as 9 as Eg: al7amdulillah, 2alib, 3lm, 5ayf, 9abr. Are these correct? I am not an Arab, but I know the Arabic alphabet and their phonetics. These are based on my personal observations. Please provide corrections for mistakes and additions of abjad if necessary. Thank you.
