About Roman Numeral Gematria
Roman Numeral Gematria applies the ancient Roman numeral system to calculate the numerical value of words and phrases. Unlike other gematria systems that simply add the values of individual letters, Roman numerals follow specific rules where the position of a symbol can affect its value.
In the Roman numeral system, certain combinations of symbols represent subtractive values. For example, "IV" represents 4 (5-1) rather than 6 (5+1), and "IX" represents 9 (10-1) rather than 11 (10+1). This unique feature adds complexity and depth to gematria calculations.
The Roman numeral system uses seven basic symbols:
- I = 1
- V = 5
- X = 10
- L = 50
- C = 100
- D = 500
- M = 1000
Roman Numeral Gematria offers a fascinating lens through which to explore the numerical dimensions of words and phrases, connecting modern language with one of the oldest numerical systems still in use today.
