The main reason to teach kids about Roman numerals isn't that they're useful in real life, but because they're so bloody awkward to actually calculate with that it might give the students some appreciation for the number system we actually use.

Like yeah, long multiplication is a ballache, but it could be so much worse.

Everyone could read analog clocks with Roman numerals except me.

I.e: "XIX" or "VMCDIII" (respectively, 9 and 5403)

I was curious, because in my country, we count thr centurirs using roman numerals, and we learned to read them in elementary school. Some of my peers get confused with them sometimes, but in general we were taught that. In english speaking spaces, I have seen that people count the centuries with the indo-arabic nummerals so I was curious to if those prople use the roman numeration system at all.

Now that Roman has been dethroned and paid for his poor treatment of Jey, I finally feel i can say this: I don't think we give him enough credit for the whole numeral system thing.

This post brought to you by finding out I am the only person at work who knows how to read roman numerals without help. I learned mostly from movie title cards and Superbowl posters. I don't remember having to learn them in school.

The Roman numerals were modeled after a steampunk type clock in the reference material of Ibis Paint X

The hands were traced from hand reference material in Ibis paint X

I learned how to to do the galaxy sky from this

The pocket watch was inspired by a Chinese Stellar pocket watch I found on the internet
