In today's terms it means multiplication by 100.000 but the Romans themselves would have probably used brackets instead of bars i.e. (((V))) = 500,000
It would be a "D" with two vinculums or bars on top.
The roman numeral for 4 was traditionally IIII and not IV because it is the first two letters of their king of the gods, Iupiter, which is written IVPITER. The Romans did not want to compare the king of the gods with something so small as 4.
One centillion = 10303 which could possibly be converted into Roman numerals as XCCCIII In the Middle Ages superscript numerals were used to denote multiplication rather than powers. So in reality the above numeral would mean 10*303 = 3030 or MMMXXX.
(M)(M)(M)(M) or possibly (MMMM). It can also be written with bars across the top of each individual letter - the use of either lines or brackets indicates multiplication by 1000.
Every bar is times 1000, so V with three bars over it is 5 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000, or 5 billion.Improved Answer:-A triple bar indicates 10*10*1000 so V would become 500,000But the Romans would have simply wrote it out as (D) which means 1000*500 = 500,000Placing bars above numerals to indicate multiplication was introduced during the Middle Ages and had nothing to do with the ancient Romans because they used brackets to indicate multiplication as for example (((M))) which means 10*10*1000*1000 = 100,000,000 which is 100 million

The numeral is mutiplied by 10,000
It's slightly hard to draw it here. The higher numbers of Roman numerals put bars and double bars over the letters. I'll use the underscore character here: ____________ ____________ _ MMMMCMLXXXV M That's one bar over the final M and two bars over everything else.

A bar over a single Roman numeral multiplies the value by 1,000. _ X = 10,000 Vertical bars either side multiply by 100. |X| = 100 Using both together multiplies by 100,000 _ |X| = 1,000,000
Apparently there were none. I used to think they were called "vomitoriums," but I was wrong. Early Italian wine bars are called "enotecas," but I can't find anything about ancient Roman bars.

CCDC is 100. A bar over any symbol means it is multiplied by 1000. Thus, two Cs with bars is 200000. D is 500.Bars are not commonly used - an artefact of not commonly needing big numbers in olden times! There's no limit to the length of a roman numeral, so in theory you could also have 200 Ms (M is 1000) all in a row, followed by a D. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMD. Not very practical.Finally, some (probably invalid) trickery - in the top answer, two symbols have bars and one doesn't. However, the Romans had a symbol, S, that neatly represents 1/2. While I can't verify this, there is an argument for CCSas representing 200.5 x 1000 = 200500.Source: Wikipedia article on Roman Numerals.Improved Answer:-It is: (CC)D which means 1,000*200+500 = 200,500
V with three horizontal bars drawn above it.
After M (1000), a bar is placed on top of the base numeral to indicate that it is multiplied by 1000. In this case, an X with a bar on top of it is 10*1000 equals to 10000 and a V with a bar on top of it is 5*1000 equals to 5000. Therefore, 15000 is equal to : XV with bars on top of each.
