CDXIV
CDXIV is a Roman numeral representing the number 414. In the Roman numeral system, C represents 100, D represents 500, and X represents 10. The numeral is constructed by combining these symbols. When a smaller numeral precedes a larger numeral, it is subtracted. Thus, CD signifies 500 - 100 = 400. Following this, XIV represents 10 + 5, where V is 5 and I is 1. Therefore, XIV is 10 + (5 - 1) or 10 + 4 = 14. Combining these parts, CDXIV equals 400 + 14, which is 414. This system of Roman numerals was used in ancient Rome for various purposes, including counting, recording dates, and denoting significant numbers in inscriptions and texts. While modern numerals are now standard for most calculations, Roman numerals still appear in certain contexts, such as clock faces, regnal numbers, and outlines.
