Coordinate planes are typically labeled with Roman numerals to distinguish between the horizontal axis (X-axis) and the vertical axis (Y-axis). Roman numerals are used as a traditional and standardized way to label the axes in mathematics to avoid confusion. This labeling convention helps to clearly identify the axes and their corresponding values when graphing points or plotting equations on the coordinate plane.

The coordinate axes are labelled with Indo-Arabic numerals so, to avoid confusion, Roman numerals are used for whole planes.
