It goes back to a Roman Emporer December 13 2002 at 5:03 PM		(no login)
Response to IIII

The emporer Gregorian thought that the number "4" should not be IV since in Latin that is the 1st 2 letters of the name of god. He decreed that the number IV should become IIII. My source is the curator of the British Horological Institue during an online chat a few years ago.
