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.

- I represents 1.

- V represents 5.

- X represents 10.

- L represents 50.

- C represents 100.

- D represents 500.

In IIIDCCCXCIV, the D (500) is followed by two C's (100 each), which is a standard way of representing 600. The XC (100 - 10 = 90) is a subtractive combination, indicating that 10 is subtracted from 100. Finally, the III (1 + 1 + 1 = 3) is added to the total.
