Roman numerals are often used for chords instead of their alphabetical name.
This helps you think of their position relative to the key.

In a major key, the three [[major]] chords are:
I - tonic
IV - subdominant
V - dominant

[[Minor]] chords are usually lower case:
ii - supertonic
iii - mediant
vi - submediant (relative minor)

So, for example, in C major you may have a chord progression:
C Am F G C
I vi IV V I
