I feel that any legal Roman numeral number (such as '''IIII''' should be converted correctly and without error. The Romans started using '''IV''' (and others) after they realized the practicability of shortening their numbers, especially those having '''8'''s in them; easily justified when chiseling those numbers in stone or
Also, numbers such as '''IIXX''' should also be converted correctly, as they do appear on old structures and tombstones. Even though modern rules say such a construct may be invalid, the number still has an equivalent decimal number. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 03:53, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
