Private bidirectional Roman numeral converter

A canonical answer with the arithmetic visible

RomanClear converts in either direction under one modern profile. It rejects ambiguous-looking noncanonical strings, offers the deterministic canonical spelling and shows components plus a round-trip check.

Three explicit steps

Enter, convert, inspect

01

Choose the direction

Start with an ASCII decimal integer or the letters I, V, X, L, C, D and M.

02

Convert under one profile

The supported interval is exactly 1 through 3,999; zero and overline notation are excluded.

03

Inspect components and round trip

Noncanonical Roman input is not silently accepted: the interpreted value and canonical suggestion remain visible.

Ordinary notation tasks

Useful for learning, editing and checking labels

  • Check a chapter or volume label.
  • Understand subtractive pairs such as IV and XC.
  • Normalize a noncanonical spelling before editing.
  • Show how a year decomposes into Roman components.
