Was just thinking about them and I don't think they were covered in school until long after I learned about them from other sources.

I remember the first time I came across them was in old Sonic the Hedgehog comic books. Must have been like 5. Asked my mom what they meant and she taught me probably up to 10 or something. Then it was maybe WrestleMania logos, a bit on the Simpsons with Bart and Super Bowls.

So can you remember when you first learned about them? How old you were and what introduced you to them?

I learned about them in like 2nd, 4th, and 7th grade, all for different reasons.

I also took some time to ask about them as a kid after I first played final fantasy VII. So I had a a decent idea even before I learned in school.

I thought Roman numerals were mandatory in school tbh.

I had an old clock in my house where all the numbers were Roman numerals. Except 4 was IIII instead of IV

It was actually Rocky V plus Rocky II equals Rocky VII: Adrian's Revenge.

Probably my first MMORPG Asheron's Call that I played when I was like, 10-11 years old

Coins had weight to them so you'd exchange them for 'trade notes' at a vendor that had a Roman numeral stamped on the inventory icon to indicate their value at a glance, all the way from a V note being worth 500, to an M note being worth 100,000
