Ancient Numeral Candles

These Roman Candles Will Make You Feel Ancient on Your Birthday

— August 13, 2013 — Lifestyle
These Roman candles make it easier to count the years on a birthday cake, especially as you get up there in age. This pack of candles is capable of counting from one to 89 years old, which is more than enough for a lifetime of birthdays. The kit also includes a guide on how to read Roman numerals, so that others unfamiliar with the system can embrace your age.

Although the set's silvery grey color may remind you of Athen's stone temples and other ancient things that have been around for centuries, these candles do look better than a big "50" on a birthday cake. This is a unique way to celebrate the years with a healthy dose of humor.
