CCCXII

CCCXII is the Roman numeral representation of the number 312. Roman numerals are a numeral system that originated in ancient Rome and remained the usual way of writing numbers throughout Europe well into the Late Middle Ages. Numbers are expressed in Roman numerals using combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet. CCCXII is composed of the symbols CCC (300), X (10), and II (2), which are added together to form the total value of 312. The use of Roman numerals continues in modern times for the numbering of years, the numbering of monarchs and popes, and in the names of Super Bowls. The Roman numeral system is decimal, with the letters I, V, X, L, C, D, and M representing 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1000, respectively. Larger numbers are formed by combining these symbols and placing them in order of value, from highest to lowest, from left to right.
