Sequel Numbering: Rocky to Final Fantasy
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.

Next time you look at a clock with Roman numerals, check the number four. Most clocks show IIII instead of IV. Nobody knows for certain why. Some say it honors Jupiter (IVPPITER in Latin). Others argue it just looks more balanced opposite the VIII on the other side. Watchmakers have kept this tradition for centuries, and it remains one of the most charming unsolved mysteries in design.

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.
