How to read XCII
Roman numerals are read left to right, largest value first, adding as you go. Scanning XCII one group at a time gives a running total that lands on 92:
| Read | Worth | Running total |
|---|---|---|
| XC | 90 | 90 |
| II | 2 | 92 |
The one place that scan can trip you up is the pair XC. A smaller letter sitting in front of a larger one is subtracted, not added, so you have to read those two letters as a single unit rather than one at a time. Treat XC as one group and the rest of XCII falls into place.
