The online tool instantly generates a sequence from 1 to 500 in Roman numerals.

Perfect for numbering documents, books, event plans, and other structured lists that use classic Roman numerals. Vertical or horizontal output, custom separators, and character wrapping are all supported.

How to create a 1–500 list in Roman numerals

It’s simple — the range 1–500 is filled in automatically. Follow four steps:

  • Output format: choose “Column” or “Row”.
  • Separator: comma, period, dash, space, “/”, “|”, comma + space, period + space, or your own symbol.
  • Preview: the result appears instantly in the preview block.
  • Copy: click “Generate”, then “Copy” — the list goes to the clipboard.

Advanced settings

Interval: enter an integer to set the step, e.g. 3 → III, VI, IX… or 10 → X, XX, XXX….

I, IV, VII, X, XIII, XVI, XIX, XXII, XXV, XXVIII

Wrapping: add characters before and after the numbers, such as brackets or quotes.

(I), (II), (III), (IV), (V), (VI), (VII), (VIII), (IX), (X)

Separators

You can build the list without a separator (handy for vertical output) or with any symbol. For your own, pick “Custom”.

Type Symbol Example
Comma , I,II,III,IV,V
Comma + space , I, II, III, IV, V
Space I II III IV V
Dash I–II–III–IV–V
Period . I.II.III.IV.V
Period + space . I. II. III. IV. V
Vertical bar | I|II|III|IV|V
Slash / I/II/III/IV/V

Wrapping

No wrapping is applied by default. To add your own, choose “Custom” and enter the characters.

Type Before After Example
Round brackets ( ) (I)
Square brackets [ ] [I]
Curly braces { } {I}
Angle brackets < > <I>

If you need another symbol, select “Custom” and enter it manually.

How the Roman numeral system works

Roman notation relies on combinations of symbols:

Symbol Value
I 1
V 5
X 10
L 50
C 100

Numbers form by adding symbols (VII = 5 + 1 + 1) or subtracting them (IV = 5 − 1).
