LXXIV

LXXIV is the Roman numeral for the number 74. In this numeral system, L represents 50, XX represents 20, and IV represents 4; together they form 74. Roman numerals are still used in various contexts where traditional numbering is preferred, such as clock faces, outlines and sections, chapter or volume designation, and inscriptions on monuments.

As a calendar year designation, LXXIV can refer to two historical years: 74 BCE and 74 CE. The year 74 CE occurred during the early Flavian period of the Roman Empire, in the reign of Emperor Vespasian. In historical writing, both 74 BCE and 74 CE appear in chronologies that preserve Roman numerals for dating. In modern usage, Roman numerals like LXXIV may be retained in documents, monuments, and scholarly works for stylistic or conventional reasons.
