Aga, I'm not meaning you're wrong. Roman Numerals have gone thru different "standards" thru the ages.
For exemple the bar on top is a Middle Age invention. Romans used "parentheses" to indicate X1000. As they did'nt know the parenth. symbol they used a C and a reversed C!. Q is not in the present "standard" but may have been in use in some date.

Check this out: http://home.att.net/~numericana/answer/roman.htm

It says large roman numerals are things like (((I))) or I)). Furthermore, putting a bar over them multiplies by 1000, and there can also be placed boxes over them etc Smile
