Thank you sea for nice code Smilie, here is an awk form of same. Honestly speaking got the idea from your code and tried to make it in awk,
lets have little more fun.

Code:
awk 'BEGIN {INPUT_NUMBERS = split("1990 2008 1666",arr," ")
        for (i=1; i<=INPUT_NUMBERS; i++) {
                                                X = arr[i]
                                                printf("%s = %s\n",X,ROMAN(X))
                                         }
        exit(0)
           }
function ROMAN(number,Z,Y,A,B,rom1,rom10,rom100,rom1000) {
                                                                number = int(number)
                                                                        if (number < 1 || number > 3999)
                                                                        {
                                                                                return
                                                                        }
                                                                        split("I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX",rom1," ")
                                                                        split("X XX XXX XL L LX LXX LXXX XC",rom10," ")
                                                                        split("C CC CCC CD D DC DCC DCCC CM",rom100," ")
                                                                        split("M MM MMM",rom1000," ")
                                                                        Z = (number - (number % 1000)) / 1000
                                                                        number = number % 1000
                                                                        Y = (number - (number % 100)) / 100
                                                                        number = number % 100
                                                                        A = (number - (number % 10)) / 10
                                                                        B = number % 10
                                                                        return(rom1000[Z] rom100[Y] rom10[A] rom1[B])
                                                         }'

Output will be as follows.
Code:
1990 = MCMXC
2008 = MMVIII
1666 = MDCLXVI

Thanks,
R. Singh
