VXVIII

VXVIII is a Roman numeral that represents the number 18. 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. The system uses combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet to represent numbers. V represents 5, and XVIII represents 18, which is the sum of 10 (X) and 8 (VIII). The numeral VXVIII is constructed by combining these symbols, with the V placed before the XVIII to indicate that it is added to the value of XVIII. This system of numerals is still used today in various contexts, such as in the numbering of chapters, sections, or in the naming of monarchs and popes.
