Not sure exactly what you are asking, but Roman numerals are simply made
of I, V, X, L, C, D and M characters. What exactly are you trying to do?
I could be mistaken, but is there not a horizontal line
above and below IV in Roman numbers?
and can search engines distinguish between IV and
the Roman numerical?

I don't think they can, but I might be mistaken.

aa said:This question only make sense if you can advise how are you going to enter
Roman numerical into Google search box.
typing in V111 VIII and 8th are looking for the same thing.
I doubt it, but it would be good if they did.
aa said:Type into Google Henry V111, Henry VIII and Henry the 8th and compare the
results. Also look at the source code of the fetched pages to see how
eight
is spelt there. Will you report the results here?
But this still doesn't answer my question.
If there is a correct way to write Roman numbers
How would Google see this?
aa said:I completely agree with rf's comments.
If your question has a practical reason, and you want to get rating then
you
should put yourself into shoes of your target audience and guess what and
how they might enter into SE. So the best solution will be to use in the
webpage all the variants VIII, 8th etc.
If you are just curious about Google algorithm, then it is better either
to
ask them question or apply the classical "black box" test - send a message
to the black box and analyse the responses.
My guess is that the Roman numbers is a common enough case which should be
somehow addressed in their algorithm and "Henry VIII" should fetch "Henry
the Eighth", the 8th etc. even if these are not included into webpage
fetched. But your experiment showes that it's not the case. So Google has
a
room for improvement
