List of Roman numerals from 1 to 4000
The online list generator instantly creates a sequence from 1 to 4000 in Roman numerals.
Perfect for numbering documents, books, event schedules, and any structured list that uses classic Roman numerals. Vertical and horizontal layouts, any separators, and custom wrappers are supported.
How to create a 1–4000 list in Roman numerals
The range 1–4000
is pre-filled automatically. Then follow four steps:
- Format: choose “Column” or “Row”.
- Separator: comma, period, dash, space, “/”, “|”, or your own symbol.
- Preview: the result appears in the preview panel.
- Copy: click “Generate”, then “Copy”.
Advanced settings
Step: set a number interval, e.g. 3 → III, VI, IX…
or 10 → X, XX, XXX…
.
Wrapping: add characters before and after numbers, e.g. in brackets or quotation marks.
Separators
By default the list has no separator, or the one you choose. For a custom option pick “Custom”.
Type | Symbol | Example |
---|---|---|
Comma | , | I,II,III,IV,V |
Comma + space | , | I, II, III, IV, V |
Space | I II III IV V | |

How the Roman numeral system works
Combination of symbols:
Symbol | Value |
---|---|
I | 1 |
V | 5 |
