Roman Numeral L (50)

Roman numerals, the numeric system of ancient Rome, uses combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet to signify values. L represents the number 50. Today's use of Roman numerals tends to be more for cosmetic purposes than function. FUN FACT: The NFL broke its tradition of using Roman numerals for the Super Bowl and branded its 2016 championship game as "Super Bowl 50" instead of "Super Bowl L". The NFL said that the tradition of using Roman numerals will be reinstated in 2017 with Super Bowl LI at NRG Stadium in Houston.
