IIII or IV?
The notation of Roman numerals has varied through the centuries. Originally, it was common to use IIII to represent "four", because IV represented the god Jove (and later YHWH). The subtractive notation (which uses IV instead of IIII) has become universally used only in modern times. For example, Forme of Cury, a manuscript from 1390, uses IX for "nine", but IIII for "four". Another document in the same manuscript, from 1381, uses IV and IX. A third document in the same manuscript uses both IIII and IV, and IX. Constructions such as IIX for "eight" have also been discovered. Subtractive notation arose from regular Latin usage: the number "18" was duodeviginti or “two from twenty”; the number "19" was undeviginti or “one from twenty”. The use of subtractive notation increased the complexity of performing Roman arithmetic, without conveying the benefits of a full positional notation system.
Likewise, on some buildings it is possible to see MDCCCCX, for example, representing 1910 instead of MCMX - notably Admiralty Arch in London.
Roman Numerals like IV, IX, XIV, XIX, XL etc. did not yet exist at the time of the Roman Empire but were introduced later. The IV most likely not before the 13 th (?) century.
The IX appears already on many of the earliest mechanical clocks during the 14 th century, but the ancient roman numerals VIIII, XIIII, XVIIII, XXIIII were still used with several early Renaissance and Gothic dials. Attached pictures show interesting early examples of a combined use of ‘ancient’ and ’later’ Roman numerals.
