One of the popular trends in the world of tattoos is the date of birth written in Roman numerals. The inscription catches the eye and a person not familiar with the basics of writing Roman numbers will not be very clear. Thus, the date is encrypted and becomes perceptible only to those who are familiar with elementary numerical expressions of the Latin language.
So, everything is in order:
The date of birth is compiled in 3 stages.
- Stage 1 is the day of birth.
- Stage 2 - month of birth.
- Stage 3 - year of birth.
All stages strictly follow each other and are separated from each other by dots. As an example let's take the date of birth August 28, 1999
.
In normal format, this date would look like this: 28.08.1999
. The month of August is changed to its ordinal number of the period of the year, namely 08. You can also write it as.
28.8.1999
, there is no difference. In Roman numerals the date will change to:
XXVIII.VIII.MCMXCIX .
.
Making up the date
Now, from the data obtained by selecting from three tables, you can make up your date of birth in two variants:
Option 1: 28.08.99 - XXVIII.VIII.XCIX
.
Option 2: 28.08.1999 - XXVIII.VIII.MCMXCIX.
