Roman Numerals in the Odyssey

In the book The Odyssey by Homer instead of numbering the chapters/books with normal numbers it uses Roman numerals and because of Latin, I understood them well. I found this in English class when we had to read the Odyssey and learning Roman numerals in middle school Latin helped me to know what chapter I was reading. Since I learned this a while go making the connection felt natural since I had been using Roman numerals for a while in Latin classes.
