The last two are VI, not IV.
The number was 1666. Coincidentally, that was the year the great fire of London occurred :/
With so many replies at once I must've read yours wrong. Sorry
Quote:IIII is perfectly legal for 4.
For tallies, yes. For Roman numerals, there is a rule that no more than three of the same numeral can be in a row.
So that's why 4 is VI, and 5 is V, and so on.
