1991
Under today's modern rules now governing the Roman numerals system MCMXCI represents 1991 but the ancient Romans would have worked it out quite differently.
On converting between Arabic and Roman Numbers ,we get : June 4 1991 IN ROMAN NUMERALS is written as : VI-IV-MCMXC1
M=1000, C=100, X=10, I=1 The first M stands for 1000. Next, CM stands for 900. 1000 - 100 = 900. Putting the C before the M is easier and more efficient than writing nine C's to represent 900. XC means 90 because 100-10=90. Lastly, I is 1.
