[edit] Roman numeral code?

I haven't really read the article, but is there a code on the column, to the right of Saint Cyril, which marks its date of completion? The script shows enlarged letters, which I took to be Roman numerals (LIDDILIDCL), and added to make 1753. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dan m90 (talk • contribs) 21:12, 26 November 2006 (UTC).

Yes, you are right! I would just correct the numerals which are LIDIDILIDCL (with one more "I" on the fourth place, see the picture at the Commons). Thus they really make the year of completion: 1754.
The same can be observed also in a picture of another chronogram on the column. Jan.Kamenicek 00:18, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
