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.


As mentioned before, it's not a "rule". It's a convenience of modern usage. Find a clock with roman numerals on the face and it will probably have IIII on the front.
