Cannon included both field guns, which were lightweight, mobile pieces and heavy siege guns which had limited mobility. Field guns, firing solid shot, grapeshot and canister in a fairly flat trajectory, could tear large holes in the enemy’s infantry ranks. Siege cannon fired solid shot, destroying fortifications and buildings. Against ships, cannon crews utilized hot shot, a superheated cannon ball that could set a ship on fire; and bar shot and chain shot, (two halves of a cannon ball attached by either a bar or chain) that could pull down a ship’s mast and rigging."

To convert 1776 in Roman Numerals, we will write 1776 in the expanded form, i.e. 1776 = 1000 + 500 + 100 + 100 + 50 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 thereafter replacing the transformed numbers with their respective roman numerals, we get 1776 = M + D + C + C + L + X + X + V + I = MDCCLXXVI. In this article, we will explain how to correctly transform 1776 in Roman numerals."
1776 = 1000 + 700 + 70 + 6
Roman Numerals = M + DCC + LXX + VI
