How Do I Read and Write Roman Numerals?

WELCOME!

This is the new home of my blog that helps people read and write Roman Numerals. Since March 2007 I've been helping people write Roman Numerals (on the Wordpress blog) for birthdays, anniversaries, children's birthdays and tattoos.

I have answered over 1000 questions about how to write Roman Numerals.

Please feel free to continue asking questions via the comments. I'll answer ASAP!

If you want to read through the 1000+ questions and answers click the following link:

1000+ Questions and Answers About Roman Numerals

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Want to impress your friends and family? Learn how to read and write Roman Numerals. It’s easy!

First there are 7 distinct numerals from which to create all the other Roman numerals:

I =1clock.JPG

V =5

X =10

L =50

C =100

D =500

M =1000

To create other numerals you will need to combine two or more of the seven. So, for example, number 2 is II, 3 is III, but 4 is IV. Why? because IIII (four of the same number together) becomes unmanageable. Four then is created by placing I in front of V and subtracting 1 from 5 which equals 4.

So far then we have numerals for our Arabic numbers 1-5. We continue simply adding I to V: VI = 6, VII = 7, VIII=8, but 9 is IX. For the same reason we didn’t use IIII for 4, nine is created by placing I in front of X and subtracting 1 from 10 to get 9 (IX).

Are we beginning to see a pattern here?

Numerals above X (10) are XI, XII, XIII, XIV, XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX and XX is 20.

Then XXX = 30, XXXI = 31 and so on.

XL = 40, XLI = 41 etc.

LX = 60, LXX = 70, LXXX = 80, XC = 90

Let’s try to create a number in Roman numerals. How about 1944. Let’s start from the left:

1000 = M

900 = CM

40 = XL

4 = IV

Put together the numeral is MCMXLIV.

Most of the time Roman numerals are used to express year dates, especially the date for the making of a movie or a television program. Roman numerals are also used on formal documents and papers, analog clocks, and on building cornerstones.

Laralati said...

HI! great page, thannks!
I am the oldest of SEVEN kids. We all want to get the roman numerals for our place in the family.

EX: I of VII, II of VII, etc...
to do that, would you make the "of" be a "/"? What would replace the word of in between the I and VII???

thank you! also, we are debatin gbtwn inner wrist or back of neck. or anywhere really. what do you think?

Anonymous said...

Hey! This is a really intersting concept! I am looking to get my bday in roman numerals for a tattoo also. How do you put July 2, 1987 (07/02/1987)

maryt/theteach said...

joanne, 27/08/1995 - XXVII VIII MCMXCV
02/04/1999 - II IV MCMXCIX
07/05/2001 - VII V MMI
09/01/2003 - IX I MMIII

joanne, I made these corrections some time back and maybe I just didn't publish the comment. I'm sorry! The numerals in bold are correct! :)

maryt/theteach said...

angschaf13, November 3, 1997 =XI III MCMXCVII

Lara, I think I would do I/VII II/VII ...
On the back of the neck, not too big. :)

Anon, July 2, 1987 = VII II MCMLXXXVII :)

I would like to write out September 15th, 1991. Is this correct? VIIII XV MCMXCI

maryt/theteach said...

Anon, you wrote: September 15th, 1991. Is this correct? VIIII XV MCMXCI

September is the 9th month and "9" is written = IX The rest is correct! :)

I was just wondering if geographical co ordinates could be written in roman numeral.....like 43.78 degrees, -79.20

maryt/theteach said...

alba, the Romans wouldn't have know such co-ordinates and therefore wouldn't have written them...

Is there halfs(1/2)in roman numerals?

maryt/theteach said...

Tracy, April 14, 2001 = IV XIV MMI :)

rrh, the Romans used the Latin word uncia for 1/2. So, I think, you could write 10 1/2 as Xuncia

maryt/theteach said...

rrh, maybe there ought to be a space between X and uncia... I'm not sure.

Hi... i wanted to get a tattoo of my birthday september 13 1992. if im not mistaken its XII IX MCMXCII

My question is, i know you aren't supposed to have periods in between the numbers but i thought it might look more appealing, is it wrong to put periods even if its for a tattoo?

Unknown said...

How do i write 1988 in roman numerals?
~Thanx a bunch,hun!

maryt/theteach said...

Anonymous (Aug 28), September 13, 1992 = IX XIII MCMXCII or XIII IX MCMXCII depending on how the order of how you write dates month, day, year or day, month, year.
Also you ask about period between numerals. Don't use them even on tattoos put a space between the numerals. :)

Hi Mary, My Fiance and I are getting married on Oct, 17, 2009. We would like Roman Numerals on our cake for the date. I believe using your teaching that the following would be correct?

Oct = X, 17 = XVII, 2009 = MMIX
so we write it all together as: X XVII MMIX

Is that correct? Is that how you would suggest we write it?
Thanks for your help.
just in case, My e-mail is speritore@mhmb.com

can anyone tell me what the roman numerals are for 7/18/2009 ?

Evelyn Saenz said...

What a wonderful resource you offer here on your blog. I never understood how to write dates including the month and day in roman numerals before.

I write webpages for teachers, parents and homeschoolers of young children.

I hope that you don't mind that I have linked your blog to www.squidoo.com/roman-numerals.

I asked you earlier what a roman numberal reading was.. you gave IX XI MMIX.. IT MEANS JAN 21, 2009... also i was wondering if you could give me April 14, 1976.. that is my brothers birthday. and i was wondering in your opinion, since my brother is no longer here with us and i am getting a tattoo.. would it be more appropraite to get his birthday tattooed or his death day? THANK YOU!

How does 29th of November, 1986 look in Roman Numeral? I have seen several Ways it is done but I am not 100% certain which one is correct. the best on I found is xxix NOV. MCMLXXXVI. is that Correct? also what what a shorter version look like if possible. Thank you for your input and help. Joe

Tadd said...

Hey, I wanted to have this checked over, would 12.20.1989 be XII.XX.MCMLXXXIX ? Thanks!

maryt/theteach said...

M. Frost, don't shorten 2008. 2008 is MMVIII. :)

maryt/theteach said...

Joe, 29th of November, 1986 CAN BE WRITTEN TWO WAYS.
XXIX XI MCMLXXXVI OR
XI XXIX MCMLXXXVI
In the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth and the EU the first is the acceptable way to write a date. day,month,year.
In the United States the second is acceptable. Month, day, year.

maryt/theteach said...

Tadd, you ask: would 12.20.1989 be XII.XX.MCMLXXXIX ? It's correct but LOSE THE PERIODS/DOTS! :)

Amazing Blog! Love it!
I have a question... I have read that Romans would not use a number to express a month... so if I wanted to write my kids bdays for tattoos what would be the correct way?? I am confused!
THEIR WAY: (for November 29, 2000)
XXIX NOV MM
and (for January 25, 2005)
XX JAN MMV
It was written that they would have abbreviated the first three letters of the month...

BUT what I am seeing done here... and find looks much more pleasing to the eye would be...
(Nov 29, 2000)
XXIX XI MM
(Jan 25, 2005)
I XXV MMV

Which is correct??!?!?! Thank you in advance for your help!! :-)

Hello I love your website alot! i hope not to sound like a broken record but what would 4/22/1987 look like in roman numerals. I tried your system but i want to make sure that its correct. Thank you! -Derek

maryt/theteach said...

Ashlie, (Nov 29, 2000)=XI XXIX MM and
(Jan 25, 2005)= I XXV MMV
This is generally how Roman Numerals are written in modern usage in the United States. If you are from Britain and the Commonwealth or Europe you'd write Roman numerals day, month, year.

Hello,

I was reading through the M's of questions that have been asked to you, which is amazing, and noticed, very early on in the comments, that you mentioned that 'DM' is not a number. To write 400 you would use 'CD'. I am curious as to why? Is there a reason, or is something you learn from studying Roman Numerals. Thank you in advance for any response.

John, 1500 would be written (always working from left to right) MD. 400 would be written CD (500 -100). The preference is always working from left to right. And when you can't then you use subtraction. :)

g0tapple, July 14, 2007 = XIV VII MMVII (if you live in Britain or the Commonwealth)

Anonymous (Jan.4): If you live in the United States you write dates "month, day, year." If you live in Britain, Canada, the Commonwealth, or Europe, you write dates "day, month, year."

Ok, I wanna make september 4 1990.

I had IX IV XIX XC as in 9 4 19 90.

But Ive seen that you placed 1990 written as MCMXC.

So I take it, the right way is :
IX IV MCMXC .

misslala said...

Sammi Gilham2b,
Yes, Sammi, if you live in Great Britain or the Commonwealth that's the way to write it: VI X MMIX :)

pitboss,
October 14th 2001= X XIV MMI
June 24th 2004 = VI XXIV MMIV :)

Nivvy,
november 23 2009 = XXIII XI MMIX (you left out a I in 23)We don't usually abbreviate Roman numerals. :)

Anonymous,
I've learned that in Canada you write the date either way:
July 22, 1940 = XXII VII MCMXL OR VII XXII MCMXL :)
