It is not a roman year, it is a roman numeral, or a roman number.
DUH!

1941:
M=1000
C=100
X=10
L=50
I=1
(another value, V, is 5)
Romans have a system whereby you state the largest values first (just like we do- here 1000) then you successively add up smaller values. The rule of thumb is that values below "4" are added and values above 4 are subtracted. An example will help:
Say I want to express the number 41. I know that X =10, so I might have:
XXXXI (40 +1)
A Roman would understand that to be 41, but a shorter way is to have XLI (which indicates 10 is subtracted from 50 and then 1 is added).
Whenever a smaller value precedes a larger one, it is subtracted. So the "CM" indicates that 100 is subtracted from 1000, which equals 900.
So step-by-step we have:
M(1000) + CM (1000-100=900)+XLI (50-10 +1)=
1000+900+41=1941
By the way, the current year is MMVI
V=5
