Another response:
Actually, it was a Roman numeral. The Romans were superstitious, and since "IV" were the first two letters of Jupiter's name, they used IIII for four. That's why old fashioned clocks show IIII instead of IV.
Another response:
But now IV is used.
Another response:
I'm sorry, but I'd disagree. IV may well be used, but if one is using Roman numerals, one should use them as the Roman's did. Fancy clocks made today still do it the Roman way, with the IIII. If one wishes to be modern, or logically consistent, then one still doesn't use "IV", but rather "4".
