Roman numerals write numbers with letters. I means 1, V means 5, and X means 10. Roman Numerals changes ordinary numbers into these letters and back.

Try a number both ways

Leave Direction on Number → Roman and type 14 in Number or Roman numeral. Result should show XIV: X is ten and IV is four. The I goes before V to mean one less than five.

Now switch Direction to Roman → number and replace the input with XIV. The result should be 14. It updates as you type; Copy takes the result if you need it elsewhere.

If the tool says the input is invalid

In number mode, enter a whole number from 1 through 3999. Zero and negative values have no output here. In Roman mode, use the standard order of letters. For example, IIII is rejected; write IV for four. This converter reads the text you entered, not the age of a document or a date shown in a picture.

Questions you might have

Why does it stop at 3999?
Standard Roman notation has no zero and no way to write larger numbers without an overline or a different convention. 3999 is MMMCMXCIX, the largest value the plain form expresses.
