CCLXVIII

CCLXVIII is the Roman numeral representation of the number 268. 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. The Roman numeral system uses seven symbols, each with a fixed integer value. These symbols are I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1,000). To form a numeral, the symbols are combined according to specific rules. The standard form is to write the largest value first and then add or subtract smaller values as necessary. For example, the numeral for 268 is written as CCLXVIII, which means 200 (CC) plus 60 (LX) plus 8 (VIII). The use of Roman numerals continues in various contexts today, such as in the naming of popes, the numbering of Super Bowls, and the dating of significant historical events.
