Questions people ask
How do you write the time in Roman numerals?
Write the hour and the minutes as separate Roman numbers: 10:24 is X:XXIV. Romans had no zero, so on this page a zero is shown as N, from the Latin nulla, as medieval scholars did.
Why do clocks use IIII instead of IV?
Most Roman numeral clocks write four as IIII. It balances the VIII on the other side of the dial, uses the same strokes as nearby numbers, and reads clearly upside down at the bottom. See why clocks use IIII.
What are the Roman numerals 1 to 12?
I, II, III, IV (IIII on most clocks), V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII.
