I mean, I’d be confused and concerned too if a time travelling European from the 18th century stepped off a boat in 1492
To be fair, this is looking more like late XVIII century man with advanced syphilis, but after looking some of late XV century portraits the point still somewhat stands anyway.
Why the fuck would you use Roman numerals?
Some Slavic languages, such as Russian, use Roman numerals for numbering centuries
Edit: why was this downvoted? If I’m wrong please tell me, I’d like to learn :)

Arabic numerals are the devil’s numbers!
Gets off the boat, gets out his gun: “Let me show you a magic trick!”

Apparently this is largely a myth, somebody did try it on a single occasion but it doesn’t actually work to spread smallpox. That guy was clearly an arsehole, but yeah, apparently it wasn’t a thing. I don’t know how important this is given the near total genocide of the Native Americans, but it’s funny how some things become “common knowledge” and some things never really get out. Soap made of Jews is another one - it was apparently an urban legend at the time due to the letters written on the rationed bars of soap. Again, more than enough evil to go around without the soap. It does seem that one insane commandants wife collected people’s tattooed skin and likely did make a lampshade out of human skin. People say that didn’t happen, but there’s a pretty convincing photograph out there of all the seized items at one camp. Can’t remember why I started talking about this, think I was trying to distract myself from a stomachache.
