The Roman alphabet is the basis for the English alphabet. The Romans used the letters A B C D E F Z

H I K L M N O

P Q R S T V X To which the letters G, J, U, W and Y were later added. You may be thinking of Roman Numerals... which was the system Romans used for writing numbers... they used cartain letters as numbers...... I = 1

V = 5

X = 10

L = 50

C = 100

D = 500

M = 1000

From these they made up their composite numbers, so that 15 was XV, 28 was XXVIII, 144 was CXLIV, and so on
