Frequently Asked Questions

What is the highest number it can convert?

Standard Roman numerals generally only go up to 3,999 (MMMCMXCIX). Numbers 4,000 and higher require a special 'vinculum' (a line over the letter) which is not supported by standard ASCII text.

Is there a Roman numeral for zero?

No. The Romans did not have a number or symbol representing zero. The concept was introduced to Europe much later via the Arabic numeral system.

Does capitalization matter?

While traditionally written in uppercase (XIV), our tool is smart enough to parse lowercase inputs (xiv) and convert them correctly.
