Clock trivia, notice the display on clocks that use Roman numerals. It goes I, II, III, IIII, IV, V, VI, VII, IX, X, XI, XII. Standard Roman numerals denote IIII as IV. The Non-Standard application above is used to keep symmetry in the display, keeping the character use in units of 4. (4 all Is, 4 with Vs, 4 with Xs) Not all clock with Roman numerals use this system, but the use is widespread.. I've never seen a clock face with IIII AND IV on it. |
