The Roman Numeral Date Converter turns any calendar date into the Roman numeral formats used for tattoos, wedding invitations, cornerstones and film copyright lines. Pick a date and copy the exact styling you want in one tap.
How dates become Roman numerals
Each part of the date is converted on its own and then joined with separators. Take 15 June 2024:
- Day 15 →
XV - Month 6 →
VI - Year 2024 →
MMXXIV
Joined, that is XV · VI · MMXXIV. The tool also offers the US month-day-year
order and a slash format so you can match whatever style your engraver or tattoo
artist prefers.
The numerals behind the year
Roman numerals use seven letters combined by addition and subtraction:
| Symbol | Value |
|---|---|
| I | 1 |
| V | 5 |
| X | 10 |
| L | 50 |
| C | 100 |
| D | 500 |
| M | 1000 |
So 2024 is MM (2000) + XX (20) + IV (4) = MMXXIV, and 1999 is MCMXCIX.
A tip before you commit it to skin
Roman numeral tattoos are permanent, so double-check the numerals here against a second source before booking. The tool breaks out each part — day, month and year — separately so you can verify every group of letters on its own.
