Answer 1

Roman numerals are used in legal documents and formal statements like Films and Television copyright dates. They are most frequently seen as list numbers, time pieces and historic Roman coins, art and antiquities in museums and antique shops, chord triads in music analysis, the numbering of movie sequels, book publication dates, successive rulers or other persons with identical names, and the numbering of some sport events, such as the Olympic Games or the Super Bowls. Typically books have chapter headings as numerals, and number their forward pages with Roman numerals to indicate that it is the page forward. Nearly all computer word processing packages (Word, PDF) allow uppercase and lowercase Roman numerals as list item indicators.

Roman numerals are also used in classic style watch and clock faces where the Roman number for 4 is often written as IIII rather than IV, to add symmetry and balance to the face. Quite often you can see Roman numerals used to indicate the time on sundials.
