MLXXI

MLXXI is the Roman numeral representation of the number 1071. In Roman numerals, M denotes 1000, L denotes 50, X denotes 10, and I denotes 1. MLXXI is formed by combining these values additively: 1000 + 50 + 10 + 10 + 1 equals 1071. This numeral is typically used in historical inscriptions, chronology, and contexts where Roman numerals are preferred over Arabic numerals.

In historical context, the year 1071 is notable for several events in different regions. One of the most significant was the Battle of Manzikert, fought on August 26, 1071, in which the Byzantine Empire under Emperor Romanos IV Diogenes was defeated by the Seljuk Turks led by Alp Arslan. The outcome contributed to long-term Turkish settlement and control over much of Anatolia, altering the balance of power in the region. In the same year, Norman forces under Robert Guiscard completed the capture of Bari, a key city in southern Italy, strengthening Norman influence in the Italian peninsula.

Usage of MLXXI today is primarily historical or educational. It appears in scholarly works, inscriptions, and chronologies where dates are presented in Roman numerals. While MLXXI explicitly represents the year 1071, the numeral system as a whole is still used in certain ceremonial or traditional contexts. See also Roman numerals and 1071.
