<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 4830973, member: 27832&quot;]Cool! Can you parse out the symbols? I recognize <b>XII</b>, of course, but I don&#039;t know what to make of the first or last. (Edit: now I see that the &quot;asterisk&quot; is the symbol for <i>denarius</i>, although the machine I&#039;m on at the moment doesn&#039;t want to render the Unicode version.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I did run off and Google &quot;Roman numerals one half&quot;, but that seemed to indicate they&#039;d use <b>S</b> (<i>semis</i>) for one-half. (I didn&#039;t know that there <i>were</i> Roman numerals for fractions, never mind that they were base-twelve!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
