<div dir="ltr">Hello,
<div>I have come across a date in an order that I have never seen before. The book has, " MDCCXIC". I have found a couple of examples that infer this would be 1789 due to some historical usage of a variant of the subtractive form. Can someone confirm this and/or
direct me to a source discussing this.</div>
<div>Thank you for your assistance,</div>
