Arguments

x An integer vector you wish to have diplayed as Roman numerals. The values should be between 1 and 3899, inclusive.
i The subscript vector, as with the generic subscript operator. Only one subscript is allowed.
Value
as.roman(x) returns the as.integer(x) with the class "roman" attached. If any values in x are outside the range 1-3899 they will be converted to NA.
as.character(x), where x has class "roman", returns a character vector containing the uppercase Roman numerals for the values in x. format(x) returns format(as.character(x)) and print(x) calls print(as.character(x), quote=FALSE) and returns x.
