In ancient times there was no pc

high numerals The later Latin clas-
steal writer's differentiated more pre-
cIsely, though even among them we
find traces Of the same looseness
which the Greek authors showed, for
instance In the word myriad" which
meant either ten thousand, or a great
multitude. SO the Latin word Mile
stood for "a thousand" OF "a large
number" the sense being gathered
sometimes by the case employed In
the governed word. However, the let
ter M was commonly employed to
represent 1000 In what is known now
as the Roman Enumeration. NM meant
thousands loosely, or two thousand II
intended to be used precisely. A dash
over the M changed its value from q
thousand to "a million" or probably
to IAN exceedingly high number" Two
Ms with a dash over both, might read
simply millions and millions" II ora
