Nowadays 244 in Roman numerals are CCXLIV but the ancient Romans would have probably notated them as CCXXXXIIII
In todays modern notation of Roman numerals it is MCMXCVII but the ancient Romans probably wrote it out differently
In today's modern notation of Roman numerals it is now 1499 = MCDXCIX but the ancient Romans would have worked it out on an abacus calculating board as MCCCCLXXXXVIIII and then probably abridged it to IMD in written format which means 1500-1 = 1499
Romans used Roman numerals as their form of numbers. Romans needed Roman Numerals because they needed numbers to count, tell time, and do other things in life that involved numbers. Roman numerals were used because they could all be scribed using a flat chisel i.e X I V M.
