The origins of Roman numerals can be traced back to Ancient Rome. Thank you for taking the time to read this! No, I'm not serious - that isn't the topic of the piece... Roman numerals aren't necessarily a Roman innovation, either. They were first employed to write numbers out in Ancient Rome, and they are still widely used today. Roman numerals gracing brickwork over the doorways of truly old buildings are a common sight, indicating the year the building was built.

So, to return to what I said at the start of this essay, if Roman numerals aren't from Ancient Rome, where did they come from? Etruscan numbers and Etruscan c...

  The Dieting Mind Set When it comes to dieting, far too many people set themselves up for failure before they even begin the process. They literally dread going on their diets and before they start the process are planning their mishaps along the way. Sad to say but true, far too many would be dieters are planning their first Rocky Road mishap while eating their last bowl of Rocky Road before the big event.
