The accepted convention does not permit values over MMMCMXCIX (3999) to be notated in Roman numerals (the letter M cannot be repeated more than 3 times). Breaking with convention, MMMMD would be 4500.

In the middle ages, an overline would multiply the value by 1,000, while vertical lines either side of a numeral multiplied the numeral by 100. Using that convention, we could represent 4500 as 45 * 100 which would be |VL|
