About the Roman Numeral to Number tool
Reads Roman numerals with a tolerant parser that accepts both classical and common historical forms (IIII and IV both work), and shows the canonical numeral alongside.
Clock faces traditionally use IIII rather than IV — tolerance matters more than purity when reading real-world inscriptions.
