CCD

C 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 CCS

as representing 200.5 x 1000 = 200500.

Improved Answer:-

It is: (CC)D which means 1,000*200+500 = 200,500
