Pre-Roman/Ancient Rome
Although Roman numerals are now written with letters of the Roman alphabet, they were originally independent symbols. The Etruscans, for example, used I, Λ, X, ⋔, 8, ⊕, for I, V, X, L, C, and M, of which only I and X happened to be letters in their alphabet.
⊕ = M = 1000
O = 70
O = 70
⊗ = Tensor Product
I'm not sure what the Tensor Product is...
Can anyone work this out?
