I know I is 1, V is 5, X is 10, L is 50, C is 100, and M is 1,000. But are there any other letters to depict numbers?

@farmerman,
Oh, that's right. D is 500. Forgot about that one. Any others?

Why don't you just go to the Wikipedia page about Roman numerals? Or about a gazillion other web sites? Or (weird idea, I know!) look them up in a book?

@contrex,
I can't find anything above M and I was wondering if there was something but I just can't find it.

@-N,
If you put a bar over a numeral, it means that you multiply that number by 1000. So M with a bar over it would be 1,000,000.

A coin similar to this one and date stamped 54 b.c. was worth nothing or nulla in latin meaning none zero 0.

@laughoutlood,
According to your own link (which is where you got the picture of the coin), the four dots on the obverse side indicate the value of the coin was one-third (of something), not null.

And, of course, if it had the date 54 b.c. stamped on it, it is obviously a forgery, a rather inept one at that.

@Butrflynet,
So if you put a bar over, I don't know, CCXLVII perhaps, would that make it 247,000?
