The VERY CUTE PURPLE DINOSAUR

Step 1: Change all the "U"'s to "V"'s since this is the proper way to write
Latin:

THE VERY CVTE PVRPLE DINOSAVR.

Step 2: Extract all letters that are actually Roman Numerals:

V C V V L I V

Step 3: Assign them their number values:

5 100 5 5 50 1 5

Step 4: Drop all the zeros:

5 1  5 5 5  1 5

Step 5: Add the three 5's in the middle to make threee equal pairs:

51  15  15

Step 6:  Now add the digits of each pair together:

(5+1=6)  (1+5=6) (1+5=6)
     |           |           |
      6          6          6
       \         |          /
       666
