Roman Numerals

OK, so about a week ago I noticed an unusual sun dial while I was out shopping. The Roman Numerals on it were weird and did not look right to me. I saw IIIV and wondered if that was supposed to be 2. Upon closer inspection it appeared that the numbers were fine if you saw them in a mirror or read them from left to right. I took a picture but decided this oddity was not worthy of being on my precious blog. Well, a few days later I saw another sun dial with bizarre looking numerals. This one had IIII on it which I suppose is supposed to be 4. It doesn't matter how you read it, that is just plain wrong and therefore was worthy of a picture and blog mention. Enjoy...
