CCCLXXIX

CCCLXXIX is the Roman numeral that represents the integer 379. It is formed by adding CCC (300) plus LXX (70) plus IX (9). The IX uses subtractive notation for 9, a common feature in Roman numerals, while the other parts are written additively.

Roman numerals originated in ancient Rome and were widely used thereafter for numbering and dating. In modern usage, CCCLXXIX may appear in contexts where Roman numerals are employed for stylistic or conventional reasons, such as labeling chapters, indicating a year (for example 379 CE), or marking items in a sequential list.

In contemporary practice, the standard way to write 379 in Roman numerals is CCCLXXIX; other historic or nonstandard spellings are typically considered incorrect in formal settings. Roman numerals today are mostly symbolic or decorative, but remain common in clocks, copyright dates, film sequels, and academic or historical texts.
