CDXXXVI

CDXXXVI is a Roman numeral that represents the number four hundred thirty‑six. The numeral is constructed from the basic Roman numerals D (500), C (100), and the subtractive notation “XC” (90) and “VI” (6). As a symbolic representation of 436, it has been used in various contexts where Roman numerals are employed for enumeration, such as the numbering of chapters in legal statutes, sections in literary works, or items in catalogues.

Historically, Roman numerals were used across the Roman Empire for dates, coinage, and official documentation. When the numeral CDXXXVI appears in modern documents, it typically indicates a specific section or item rather than a year. For example, it is sometimes used to label a chapter in a contemporary legal code, a section in a technical manual, or a numbered item in a stamp catalogue. In the publishing industry, books that use classic numbering styles may employ CDXXXVI to denote the 436th chapter or appendix.

The numeral is occasionally seen in official characterisation of artifacts, such as model numbers of engineering designs or in the designations of specific military units (e.g., a regiment numbered 436). In popular culture, references to CDXXXVI may appear in works that use Roman numerals to give a sense of tradition or formality.

Because the numeral has no unique historical event associated with it beyond its numeric value, references to CDXXXVI are generally limited to its function as a marker of sequence or order in contemporary documents.
