Roman Numerals are just another way of writing numbers. The same as using the Chinese Numerals, or even our very own Arabic Numerals. Tally is another way of noting numbers. So anything could, in essence, precede or follow Roman Numerals, that could precede or follow Arabic Numerals or Tallies.

How would you actually add together in step by step stages 794459 and 5541 in two different ways using only Roman numerals throughout both calculations?

With great difficulty because in accordance with the rules governing the Roman numeral system set out during the Middle Ages nowadays we would convert 794,459 and 5,541 into Roman numerals as (DCCXCIV)CDLIX and (V)DXL perhaps using bars above the numerals instead of enclosed brackets to indicate multiplication by a thousand but whatever method is employed they cannot be systematically added together in some sort of logical reckoning.However the ancient Romans would have calculated the equivalent of 794,459 and 5,541 on an abacus counting device as (DCCLXXXXIIII)CCCCLVIIII and (V)DXXXXI where evidence suggest that they can be methodically abridged in written form to ILD(VDCCC)X and X(V)DLI respectively thus facilitating the speed and ease of addition as follows:-ILD(VDCCC)X+X(V)DLI = (DCCC)Which means: (800,010-5,551)+(5,551-10) = 800,000Alternatively:-(DCCLXXXXIIII)CCCCLVIIII+(V)DXXXXI = (DCCC)Which means: 794,459+5,541 = 800,000Remember: 5*I=V, 2*V=X, 5*X=L, 2*L=C, 5*C=D and 2*D=MRoman numerals: M=1000, D=500, C=100, L=50, X=10, V=5 and I=1QED


What is the sum of 1999 plus 19 added together in four different ways entirely in Roman numerals giving explanations?

Under today's modern rules now governing the Roman numeral system we would convert the equivalent of 1999 and 19 into Roman numerals as MCMXCIX and XIX respectively which makes them almost impracticable for arithmetical operations but there is historical evidence to suggest that the ancient Romans would have probably worked out the required calculations in any of the following formats:-IMM+IXX = MMXVIII => (2000-1)+(20-1) = 2018MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII+IXX = MMXVIII => 1999+(20-1) = 2018IMM+XVIIII = MMXVIII => (2000-1)+19 => (2000-1)+19 = 2018MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII+XVIIII = MMXVIII => 1999+19 = 2018Note that the above calculations are fairly simple and straight forward but for more advanced calculations the Romans would have used an abacus calculating device.QED

What was the Pay Roman?

The "pay Roman" is something strange, it sounds like some sort of a tax to me.
