REAL Romans

Malgas, 13 days ago

Those “complex” Romans are all imaginary.

Something like “VII + i” would be unambiguously complex.

Unless, wait, are we taking “VIIi” to mean ‘7 + i’ because that’s how Roman numerals treat concatenation? If so, how would we represent other purely imaginary values? Just lowercase Roman numerals (e.g. “iv” for ‘4i’)?

…I may have gotten a bit nerd-sniped there.
