Understanding Roman Numeral Formatting

While the conversion of numbers to Roman symbols (I, V, X, L, C, D, M) is standard, the way dates are formatted can vary. Our tool provides flexibility with delimiters and ordering:

  • Dots (II.XIV.MMXXV): Often used in modern minimalist designs and digital interfaces.
  • Dashes (II-XIV-MMXXV): A classic separator that maintains clarity between Day, Month, and Year.
  • Slashes (II/XIV/MMXXV): Mimics the traditional Arabic date structure but with refined numerals.
