This is a matter of stylistic convention, not design rules. Styles and style guides vary from language to language, country to country and publication to publication, but in English-language publishing the consistent practice is to use lowercase Roman numerals for front matter folios (page numbers). The Chicago Manual of Style -- a commonly-used style guide in the United States -- specifies this. I don't recall ever seeing a professionally-published English-language book that used uppercase Roman numerals for front matter folios.
