Interestingly, Stoat is reading a book on the Merchants of Venice, and the Roman Numerals were great for accounting... because they can't be successfully altered in a ledger. You can't turn one into the other (just try turning an I into a V C D or X)

This would be a pisser for sculptors who got it wrong.....

On the other hand, Roman numerals suck for accounting because arithmetic is painful.
