Much of the world still uses Roman numerals by convention in some date-related contexts. Most commonly to refer to centuries (as in XIX century), but also sometimes for months in dates: "24.IV.2023" etc. This scheme be handy in that it allows for very terse ways to write incomplete dates, too - e.g. "24 IV" for "April, 24".
