MLXXIV

MLXXIV is the Roman numeral representation of the number 1074. 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. Numbers are represented by combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet. MLXXIV is composed of the symbols M (1000), L (50), X (10), and I (1), with the value of the numeral being the sum of the values of its symbols. The numeral MLXXIV is constructed by placing the symbols in descending order of value, which is the standard method for writing Roman numerals. In the context of historical dates, MLXXIV might refer to the year 1074 AD. The use of Roman numerals has largely been supplanted by Arabic numerals in modern times, but they continue to be used in various contexts, such as in the naming of monarchs, the numbering of Super Bowls, and the designation of popes.
