ccxxi

CCXXI is the Roman numeral representation of the number 221. This numeral is formed by combining the symbols C (100), X (10), and I (1). Specifically, it breaks down as C (100) + C (100) + X (10) + X (10) + I (1). The symbols are arranged in descending order of value, with no subtractive notation being used, which is the standard convention for Roman numerals. Therefore, CCXXI directly translates to one hundred plus one hundred plus ten plus ten plus one, equaling two hundred and twenty-one. This number is an odd integer. In history, Roman numerals were commonly used for numbering in ancient Rome and continued to be used for various purposes, including clocks, book chapters, and regnal numbering, long after the fall of the Roman Empire. The numeral CCXXI itself does not inherently represent a specific historical event or entity without further context, but rather is a numerical value.
