[Nexus] Nexus OOC XX: The Land of Pokings

Looking at GLoG's title, or more accurately the thread number, and I notice a mistake. The Ancient Romans didn't have subtraction; or rather, if they did (which is likely) then V - I + IIII rather than V - I = IV. A Roman would look at IV and see a grammatically incorrect VI.

Isn't that a fun and useless little factoid?

Every time I've ever studied Roman Numerals, it's been I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X and so on.
