im sure its been asked b4, why do they use Roman numerals instead of using normal numbers, at the end, when the film was made?
thx 4 any replies
 
I don't know. Somebody once said "so the Romans can understand it" but I'm sure somebody somewhere will know. Isn't it to do with Copyright or is that a myth?
 
I think this practise was taken from book copywright, and was done so as to disguise the age of the book from any potential readers.

This was then copied by the Film and TV industries once they began copywriting stuff.
