Birthday cakes look a bit dull without candles and your regular numeral or stick candles are a bit passé. Well now you can have Roman Candles which are not only unique but a bit more discreet when it comes to the more superannuated amongst us.

Great for everyones birthday and will surely have everyone trying to work out their own age in roman numerals.

Start counting the years in roman numerals, it's a bit more dignified, doesn’t “L” look a lot better than “50”?

Packed in each box of Roman Candles are 8 silver-trimmed candles (good for ages 1 to 89) as well as a crash course in Roman numerology.
