The ancient Roman way of writing numbers. Likely because of the elegant style, it is still usually recognized and understood by everyday people (at least from 1 to 10), and is frequently used on clocks.

  • 1 = I
  • 2 = II
  • 3 = III
  • 4 = IV (one below 5)
  • 5 = V
  • 6 = VI (one above 5)
  • 7 = VII (two above 5)
