How do you write 2026 in Roman numerals?

MMXXVI. Two thousand is MM, twenty is XX and six is VI. 2025 is MMXXV and 2027 is MMXXVII.

How do you write a wedding date in Roman numerals?

Convert the day, the month and the year separately, then join them with a dot or a space. In the UK the day comes first, so 14 June 2026 is XIV·VI·MMXXVI. Our Roman numeral rings set the date that way.

Should it be day, month, year or month, day, year?

Day first is the British order and the one our rings use. American dates put the month first, so 6 December reads as VI·XII in Britain and XII·VI in the US.

Is 4 written IV or IIII?

IV. The standard rule is that a smaller numeral before a larger one is taken away, so 4 is IV and 9 is IX. IIII appears on some clock faces, but it is not how a date is written.

Is there a zero in Roman numerals?

No. Roman numerals have no zero, so a date is never padded with one: the 5th is V, not 0V. May is V, not 05.

What is the longest wedding date in Roman numerals?

Dates with eights run longest. 28 August 2028 is XXVIII·VIII·MMXXVIII, twenty characters with the dots, the longest of any date from 2000 to 2030. A long date needs more room, so it reads better on a wider band.

How Roman numerals work

Seven letters do all the work: I is 1, V is 5, X is 10, L is 50, C is 100, D is 500 and M is 1,000. Write the largest values first and add them up, so 2026 is M + M + X + X + V + I, MMXXVI.

A smaller letter in front of a larger one is taken away instead of added. That gives six pairs: IV is 4, IX is 9, XL is 40, XC is 90, CD is 400 and CM is 900. No letter appears more than three times in a row, which is why 4 is IV and not IIII. There is no zero, so a date is never padded: the 5th of May is V·V.

On a ring the day, month and year are converted separately and joined. In the UK the day comes first. An American reader puts the month first, so 6 December can read as VI·XII or XII·VI. Decide which one you mean before the date is cut into metal.
