Patterns in the Chart
Once you see the pattern, Roman numerals become predictable. Every decade repeats the same structure: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX — just with different base symbols. The 40s (XL, XLI, XLII...) work exactly like the 4s (IV), just one level up. The hundreds mirror the tens, which mirror the ones. It's turtles all the way down.

London's Big Ben uses IV instead of the traditional IIII that most clocks prefer. It's one of the few famous clocks that follows "correct" Roman numeral rules. The irony: a clock considered a symbol of precision breaks with a tradition that every village clockmaker respects.

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.
