What is a Roman numeral converter?

What range of numbers is supported?
The converter supports numbers from 1 to 3999, which is the standard range for Roman numerals using the basic symbols (I, V, X, L, C, D, M).
How do Roman numerals work?
Roman numerals use seven symbols: I=1, V=5, X=10, L=50, C=100, D=500, M=1000. Smaller values before larger ones are subtracted (IV=4), otherwise added (VI=6).
Can I convert both directions?

Why does the maximum number stop at 3999?
