Roman Numeral Calculator
A Roman Numeral Calculator is a tool that helps convert numbers between Roman numerals (like X, IV, or MCMXC) and standard Arabic numerals (like 10, 4, or 1990). Some advanced versions can also perform mathematical operations using Roman numerals, like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Why use a Roman Numeral Calculator?

How does it work?
- Input: You enter a number — either a Roman numeral (like "XIV") or a standard number (like "14").
- Conversion: The calculator translates it into the other format.
- Arithmetic (optional): If it supports math operations, you can enter two Roman numerals and choose an operation (like addition), and it gives the result in Roman numerals.
