| Roman numerals are still being used...
On cornerstones and gravestones,
For pagination at the beginning
of a book,
On watches and clock-faces,
To represent the charge on an ion
in chemistry,
For expressing the luminosity class
of stars,
To represent the order of discovery
of satellites,
For expressing coagulation factors
in physiology,
To designate the height of mountains
in surveying,
For specifying generations in a
pedigree,
To enumerate the items in a list.
