Base Roman numerals went up to one thousand:

I = 1

V = 5

X = 10

L = 50

C = 100

D = 500

M = 1000

To represent numbers greater than four thousand, a bar was place over the top of a base number. The bar indicated that the base number was multiplied by 1000. So, one million (1000 x 1000) would be written as:

_

M

So the number 1,000 is could also be:

_

I
