Best Answer

The Romans themselves would have probably notated 45 as VL but the rules governing today's Roman numeral system, which were introduced during the Middle Ages, gives 45 as XLV in Roman numerals.

What is the Roman numeral VL?

It isn't. I is 1, V is 5, X is 10, L is 50, C is 100, D is 500, and M is 1000, and Roman numerals are written in descending order, except when subtracting a power of 10 (1, 10, 100, 1000, etc.) from 5 or 10 times that much to get a lesser number. Thus, LV is 50 + 5 = 55. But VL is Vulgar Latin, meaning Latin spoken by the common populace. Or it could stand for Virgin Lips, meaning having never kissed anyone.
