have a look at frizztext blog to see all the other resourceful X blogs
X, One of the letters in the alphabet that is very little in demand.
For the Romans however, it was a totally different story.
They used the X symbol to represent the number 10
As a youngster I chose my first watch because it had Roman numbers.
During the period 1490 to 1650 a family with the name van’t Sestich lived in this house and had their surname put in the gable of the house, using Roman numbers
this house is in Naamsestraat Leuven
once again thank you Frizz for all your challenges

I like the Roman numbers of clocks too!
And I’m amused by the “X” commandments
– they do not always follow …
Jun 13, 2012 @ 17:42:23
the Roman numbers are not always very easy to figure out
Jun 21, 2012 @ 14:43:41
for example for the number 2012 or even worse 1999 …
Jun 22, 2012 @ 13:28:43
goodness yes. I just had a look at 1999. Not realy sure I know how. 🙂
