13. MCMLXVIII.
I always thought Roman numerals were cool. Probably because I never had to do math with them. I would have hated to have been a Roman engineer!

25. MCMLXXIV
But one thing you might not know...

The BBC had the thing of marking the copyright year of programming they made into Roman numerals. It hasn't been entirely that way though...

Go to the bottom of news.bbc.co.uk - it's copyright MMIX...

Mark.
