No, that is not a case of MODERN usage. As already stated in the article large numbers (incidentally mostly rounded) WERE expressed in RN (in various ways hardly constituting any kind of standard) in ancient and medieval times. Modern reproduction of ancient or medieval text that includes representation "large" Roman Numerals is obviously another matter - since this is done NOT by applying a (hypothetical) "modern" standard but by literally transcribing the VERY non-standard medieval text. Since you are not at present able to directly edit this protected article - what about regaling us with your suggested version of this section - on the talk page (which you already can edit)?
How about reading the article properly, and getting hold of the difference between a Roman Numeral a modern person may want to write for some reason and a (sort of) standard usage that others will be able to read without ambiguity.
Having said that - your talk page comments have been taken on board and minor changes have been made --Soundofmusicals (talk) 01:09, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
- I do not why you are screeding on my talk page, but it looks like I was right, in any case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numerals#Large_numbers
- Vincula are regularly printed in modern editions of Latin texts.
