Roman Numerals Date Converter

Roman Numerals Date Converter

Turn any date — a birthday, wedding or anniversary — into Roman numerals for tattoos, invitations and designs.

Convert a single number or numeral

This Roman Numerals Date Converter turns a full date — day, month and year — into Roman numerals in one step. Date tattoos are the most common reason people search for this: a birthday, a wedding date, an anniversary or the day a child was born, written in numerals, looks timeless in a way plain digits never do. The same style appears on wedding invitations, memorial plaques, watch dials, book dedications and milestone artwork, where the date itself is part of the design.

Pick your date and the converter produces it in the two formats people actually use: the dotted style (14.02.2026 becomes XIV.II.MMXXVI) and the spaced slash style (XIV / II / MMXXVI), following the day.month.year order used in most of the world. Each part is converted with the standard modern rules — subtractive pairs like IV and IX, no letter repeated more than three times — across the full supported range of years 1 to 3999. The single-number converter is included below for checking any part of the date by hand. Check the result carefully here, for free, before it becomes permanent somewhere.

How to use

  1. Use the date picker at the top and choose your day, month and year.
  2. Read the converted date instantly in both the dotted and slash styles.
  3. Double-check it against your date — especially the month — before using it for a tattoo or print.
  4. Use the number box below to convert or verify any single part on its own.
  5. Copy the exact line into your design, booking or document.

Frequently asked questions

What is an example of a date in Roman numerals?

Valentine's Day 2026 — 14 February 2026 — converts to XIV.II.MMXXVI: the day 14 is XIV, the month 2 is II, and the year 2026 is MMXXVI. That date is pre-filled in the picker above, so you can see the full conversion the moment the page loads.

Should the order be day-month-year or month-day-year?

This converter uses day.month.year, the order most of the world writes dates in and the order almost all Roman numeral date tattoos follow. If you are in the US and want month first, simply read the same three groups in your preferred order — the numerals for each part do not change, only their sequence.

Why does the converter stop at the year 3999?

Standard Roman numerals have no plain-letter symbol for 5,000 and above; larger numbers historically needed an overline, which plain text and tattoo lettering cannot show cleanly. The range 1 to 3999 covers every realistic birthday, wedding and historical date unambiguously.

What separators do people use between the parts?

Dots are the classic choice (XIV.II.MMXXVI), slashes with spaces are a close second, and some designs use simple spaces or a small diamond or dash. The numerals themselves stay the same — pick the separator that suits your design, and keep it consistent across the whole date.
