It’s to disguise the date of production. when movies were less widely promoted than they are now, people weren’t as aware of what was a new movie v one made several years prior. It also helps with global distribution in counties which don’t use our numeric system. |

Because it's a practice that was started by the Romans when they were making films centuries ago 
Yes, I am joking.
As hasbeen already said, it is done to ensure the production date is always readable |
