I bought a wall clock with Roman numerals.. Next up; learn how to read Roman numerals 🥔😚

You already understand Roman numerals enough to hang the clock the right side up, so you're on the right track. (Not that I expected anything else of course.)

I for one, love Roman numerals!
Come to think of it, so does my GF…most of her bags have the Roman numerals for 55 on them 😅

This is when I really feel old; when I was a kid, along with cursive writing, the Baltimore Catechism, Roman numerals and very basic Latin were part of the curriculum in many Catholic schools.

Elessar · 31-35, M

I: 1
V: 5
X: 10
(The other digits aren't relevant in a clock)
L: 50
C: 100
D: 500
M: 1000

If one smaller digit appear before a bigger one you subtract it:

IV = -1 +5 = 4

Otherwise, you add:

VII = +5 +1 +1 = 7
