It looks like there is no definite reason to it, but the article goes into some fun, and interesting possible reasons. From just plain ease of reading, to being the first way to write '4', to even offending different gods, and kings. Here is that article... https://monochrome-watches.com/why-do-clocks-and-watches-use-roman-numeral-iiii-instead-of-iv/Along with a few pics... ____________________________________ | |
