Just easier and don't even need "sharp" chisels to imprint roman numerals.
(KISS) Laborers aren't necessarily sensitive when it comes to caring for
Dremels or engravers.

Never heard of a little Dremel or similar engraver? The north door in the
living room becomes "LR-N" and takes 2 seconds. And you don't have to
sharpen your chisels.

I use 'em to mark the top edge of the top rail of doors etc that are being
sent off site for stripping and refinishing. Easier than other methods even
today.

Roman numerals at the framing joints?
Dunno how much weight I'd put on chiseled Roman numerals, although it
strikes me that the c. 1800 house I recently saw in Larchmont had them at
it's altered roof, where what seems to have been a widow's walk was replaced
by an extension of the rafters to form a normal ridge. Seems to me the nos
were on the new rafters (c 1890?), not the old ones, but am not sure.
On the other hand, they were still chiseling roman nos into my window sills
in the 1880's to keep track of the storms/screens/shutters.
