Why Roman Numerals Survived
Arabic numerals replaced Roman numerals for math and commerce by the 14th century. So why do Roman numerals still exist? Because they serve a different purpose now. They signal formality, tradition, and importance. A clock face, a monarch's name (Queen Elizabeth II), a building cornerstone (MCMXXIV) — Roman numerals persist wherever we want to say: this matters, this is enduring.

Rocky II. Star Wars Episode IV. The Godfather Part III. Final Fantasy XVI. Movie and game franchises love Roman numerals because they make sequels feel grander. "Rocky 2" sounds like more of the same; "Rocky II" sounds like an event. Video games pushed it furthest — Final Fantasy has reached XVI (16), and the numerals are now inseparable from the brand.

It is thought Roman numerals come from hand signals and tally marks. The stroke I represents a finger, the V represents the gap between thumb and fingers for five, and the X represents hands crossed for ten. The L, C, D, and M come from modifications of Greek letters like chi, theta, and phi to represent 50, 100, 500, and 1,000. Over time, these marks changed into the Latin letters people recognize today. There is no 0 in the Roman alphabet, as the concept for the number 0 didn't fully develop until India invented it around 600 CE / 10600 HE.
