"Most people in the world would consider the number 13 to be the most unlucky number, but this isn’t the case everywhere. In Italy, the number 17 is instead considered unlucky, and it goes back to the age of Romans. In Roman numerals, 17 is XVII, which when rearranged becomes VIXI. In Latin VIXI means “I have lived”, which essentially means “I am dead”. Alitalia, an Italian airline doesn’t have a row 17 for this very reason, and some hotels do not have a room 17."
Pretty sure this seals the deal.
Before you attack me, do your own research. How can you argue against Roman history?
