### 4/5 — Works very well, but FYI on Roman dates.

*2019-03-14, version 1.0.7*

Well, okay, it does exactly what it claims to do: convert a number string like “3-14-2019” to Roman numerals. So, yes, well done!

But here’s the thing. If you want to tattoo that on your arm, it’s a free country, but that isn’t how Roman dates work. Roman dates are measured from 3 fixed days in the month; the kalends, nones, and ides. Today is the day before the Ides of March, and it’s the year 2772 since the founding of Rome. So today is “pridie Idus Martias ab urbe condita MMDCCLXXII”, or “prid. Id. Mar. MMDCCLXXII AUC”. Just FYI before you head to the tattoo parlor. Maybe check with a Latin teacher first. 🤔😉
