To write a date in Roman numerals, convert the month, the day and the year separately and join them with a separator. For 27 October 2026 in US order that gives X.XXVII.MMXXVI. Pick a date below, choose the order and separator you want, and copy the result.
| Part | Number | Numeral |
|---|---|---|
| Day | 27 | XXVII |
| Month | 10 | X |
| Year | 2026 | MMXXVI |
2026 = 2000 + 20 + 6 = MM + XX + VI
X.XXVII.MMXXVI = October 27, 2026
Roman numerals have no leading zeros: 05 is written V.
| Month | Number | Roman numeral |

A birthday on 14 February 1998 in US order is II.XIV.MCMXCVIII. A wedding on 21 June 2025 is VI.XXI.MMXXV in US order, or XXI.VI.MMXXV with the day first.
The same steps work for anniversaries, a graduation or a child's birth date. For a year on its own, see the Roman numeral chart for smaller numbers.
Before a date goes on skin or metal, check it twice. Convert the date here, then read each part back with the Roman numeral converter to make sure the month, the day and the year are what you meant. Agree on the order with your artist or engraver: US dates put the month first, while most other countries put the day first. Pick the separator too, such as dots or dashes, and hand over the written text rather than a screenshot. This page gives the text only; it does not preview fonts or designs.
Convert the month, the day and the year to Roman numerals separately, then join them with a dot, dash or slash. For 27 October 2026 in US order that is X.XXVII.MMXXVI, because October is month 10 (X), the day is 27 (XXVII) and the year is 2026 (MMXXVI). Use the converter above for any date.
Write the birth month, day and year as Roman numerals in the order you prefer. A birthday on 14 February 1998 becomes II.XIV.MCMXCVIII in US order, or XIV.II.MCMXCVIII with the day first. Pick the date above, choose the order and separator, and copy the result. Read it back before you use it anywhere permanent.
Convert the month, the day and the year one at a time, then join them with the separator you like. The same rules apply to a wedding date as to any other date. Use the converter above, choose the order that matches how the date is normally written where you live, and copy the result for your invitation or engraving.
Use the order your artist and you read as normal for dates. US dates put the month first, and most of the rest of the world puts the day first, so the same date can look like two different dates. Convert the date here, read it back with the converter, and show your artist the written text before the session.
Split the year into thousands, hundreds, tens and ones and write each part in Roman numerals. For 2026 that is 2000 + 20 + 6, or MM + XX + VI, written MMXXVI. Many years also have their own page; see the list of years in Roman numerals. A two-digit year such as 98 is written XCVIII.
No. Roman numerals have no symbol for zero, so a date has no leading zeros: the 5th of the month is V, not 05. Years that end in 00 matter only for the two-digit option, where 2000 would give 00, so the converter shows the full year MM instead.
