Simply enter day, month, and year values to receive properly formatted Roman numeral dates with your choice of delimiters.
Core Functionality:
This tool converts standard numeric dates into Roman numeral equivalents using the classical seven-symbol system (I, V, X, L, C, D, M). Enter any date from January 1, year 1 through December 31, 3999, and the converter processes each component separately before combining them into your preferred format. The output follows authentic Roman numeral rules including subtractive notation where smaller values precede larger ones to indicate subtraction.

Jewelry designers and engravers use this tool for personalized rings, bracelets, and pendants. Event planners format wedding dates for invitations and programs.

Understanding the seven basic Roman numeral symbols helps verify converter output and catch any potential errors:
| Symbol | Value | Example Usage |
|---|---|---|
| I | 1 | Days 1-3 (I, II, III) |
| V | 5 | Day 5 (V), with IV for 4 |
| X | 10 | Days 10-30, months 10-12 |
| L | 50 | Years 50-89 in century |
| C | 100 | Century markers |
| D | 500 | Half-millennium markers |
| M | 1000 | Millennium markers (MM = 2000) |
Subtractive Combinations: IV = 4, IX = 9, XL = 40, XC = 90, CD = 400, CM = 900
These combinations reduce character count and follow the rule that smaller values preceding larger values indicate subtraction. For advanced number conversions, explore the hex calculator for additional numeral system work.
Different regions and applications prefer specific date orderings and separators:
US Format (MM.DD.YYYY) Standard American ordering places month first. Example: December 25, 2024 → XII.XXV.MMXXIV
European Format (DD.MM.YYYY) Day-first ordering common in UK, EU, and most of the world. Example: 25 December 2024 → XXV.XII.MMXXIV
ISO Format (YYYY.MM.DD) Year-first ordering used in computing and international contexts. Example: 2024-12-25 → MMXXIV.XII.XXV
Common Delimiter Choices:
Choose based on aesthetic preference, intended use, and any specific requirements from tattoo artists, jewelers, or designers. You can also calculate age alongside date conversion for comprehensive date-related information.
Complete your workflow with these complementary ToolsPivot tools:
How do I convert my birthday to Roman numerals?
Enter your birth day, month, and year into the ToolsPivot converter fields, select your preferred date format, and click convert. The tool instantly displays your birthday in Roman numerals ready for tattoos, jewelry, or other uses.
What is today's date in Roman numerals?
Use the converter with today's date values to get the current Roman numeral date. December 26, 2025 converts to XII.XXVI.MMXXV in US format or XXVI.XII.MMXXV in European format.
Can I use this for tattoo designs? Yes, this converter is specifically designed for tattoo preparation. Verify your date conversion before your appointment to avoid permanent errors on meaningful dates.
What year range does the converter support?
The converter handles years from 1 to 3999. Years beyond 3999 cannot be represented using standard Roman numeral symbols since 4000 would require a symbol for 5000.
Which date format should I use for a tattoo?
Choose the format matching your cultural preference. Americans typically use month-first (MM.DD.YYYY), while Europeans prefer day-first (DD.MM.YYYY). Confirm with your tattoo artist for their recommendation.
What delimiter works best for Roman numeral dates?
Bullet points (•) and periods (.) are most popular for tattoos due to their clean appearance. Dashes work well for formal documents. Choose based on aesthetic preference and your artist's recommendation.
Can I convert Roman numerals back to regular dates?
Yes, enter Roman numerals into the appropriate fields to convert back to Arabic numerals. This helps verify existing Roman numeral dates or decode unfamiliar sequences.
Why can't I convert years after 3999?
Standard Roman numerals use M (1000) as the largest base symbol. MMMCMXCIX represents 3999, and no standard symbol exists for 4000 or higher without using medieval notation systems.
Is this converter free to use?
Absolutely. ToolsPivot provides unlimited free conversions without registration, downloads, or hidden fees.
How do I write zero in Roman numerals?
Romans had no symbol for zero. If your date includes a zero (like year 2000), it converts to MM without any zero representation since 2000 = M + M.
What's the difference between IV and IIII?
Both represent 4, but IV follows standard subtractive notation while IIII appears on some clock faces. This converter uses IV as the standard modern convention.
Can I convert dates before year 1?
The converter handles years 1-3999. For BCE dates, convert the numeric components and manually add "BCE" or "BC" notation to your result.
How accurate is the Roman numeral conversion?
The ToolsPivot converter applies standard Roman numeral rules with complete accuracy. All conversions follow established conventions used in academic and professional contexts.
Can I generate QR codes with Roman numeral dates?
After converting your date, use the QR code generator to create scannable codes containing your Roman numeral information.
