Julius?
Did you ever wanted to know what MCMLXXIII means?
Do you want to be able to transform a number in Roman
digits, or vice versa?
Do you want to understand the future version numbers
of Mac OS (XI, XII, XIII, XIV…)?
If so, Julius I.5.0 is for you!
Julius I.5.0 is a simple Arabic-Roman number
converter: it can translate numbers written in arabic
digits to roman numbers, and it is able to translate
roman numbers in arabic ones.
First choose the direction with the tabs (1->I:
arabic to roman and I ->1: roman to arabic), then
simply write (or paste) the number (under 4000, and
strictly positive with no decimal if typed in
arabic), click on the convert button, and the
converted number is displayed, in a copy-enabled
field.
You can even have more
informations if you click on the (+) button. A drawer
will show the translation's explanation.
What's new in version I.5.0?
List of features:- We've added the roman-to-arabic translation to the existing arabic-to-roman (this feature has been requested by lots of users).
- The conversion is now explained by a drawer, to help understanding the logic of the roman numbers
- Internally, the code has been 'restructured'
- We've simplified the donation process, it can now be made easily from within the software.
- We've added a 'cultural' easter egg!
How to convert a number from Arabic to roman digits?

There is some subtractive rules for the digits (i.e. IV=4, IX=9, XL=40,…) but in general one 'built' a number by adding the different digits, starting with the biggest, like this:
1346 = 1000 M

+ 40
