HNY MMXXII

2022 in Roman numerals is MMXXII.  It is one of only four numbers whose Roman numeral equivalents have the pattern — aabbcc

222 AD was the last time a year had this pattern: 222 in Roman numerals is CCXXII. Next ones will be 2202 (MMCCII) and 2220 (MMCCXX)

Another piece of trivia: 20th Feb 2022, in US notation, is a palindrome in Roman numerals — II/XX/MMXXII.  20th Feb 222 AD was one too (II/XX/CCXXII)

As we step into this somewhat uniquely numbered year, here’s wishing you and your family a Very Happy Healthy Peaceful and Prosperous New Year 2022 !!!

  1. Fun perspective.. We need to figure out what is special about combinations of D, L, and V. Something to delve into in 2022.

  2. Nice bit of trivia to think on. Fun to contemplate.

    We live among patterns and too often don’t even notice them whirling by.

  3. Brilliant !!

    Looking forward to more such nuggets in MMXXII.
