What was the symbol for a denarius?
The original symbol for the denarius was an X because it was worth ten asses, so they used the Roman numeral for ten. (The as was a small bronze coin) However around 150 BC the denarius was revalued and was worth 16 asses. The symbol for these more valuable coins was an X with a bar through the center which divided the x into a small v, the Roman numeral for five. The bar itself counted for the numeral 1. X = 10, V = 5, bar = 1, total 16. Value 16 asses.

How much was 1000 dollars worth in Ancient Rome?
Your question cannot be answered completely because ancient Rome had no coin comparable to our dollar. Remember too, that the Roman coins were of pure metals. For example a denarius had 3 grams of pure silver and would be worth about $300 dollars today. This was one day's pay for an unskilled worker and it certainly was not valued as we would value it today. Using the denarius as a marker, a thousand dollars would be worth 3 denarii and 5 1/2 asses, or thereabouts depending on the price of silver at present. But remember, this is in present day values, the ancients had much lower values for their coins.
