That's the most affected hand I ever saw.

iiii is older but iv is objectively superior. I'd say this is one of those cases where convenience trumps precedent.

On the contrary, according the the Attic system IIII is correct notation, therefore I agree with OP's second statement.

It's correct in the Roman system too. You hardly ever see subtractive notation in medieval documents.

IIII is literally the patrician choice, as IV was used as a contraction of IVPITER.

>> No.9704243

Your writing doesn't make any sense, anon

>> No.9704249

IIII either makes you look pretentious or uneducated depending on the context.

Do you really care about what is patrician? With that writing?

(answer is IIIJ with the hook of the J descending below the writing line)
