Text

Imperial titulature line (interpuncts are treated as spaces).

Decode the censorial-iteration count following a CENS (optionally CENSOR/CENSORIS/CENSORIA) marker with Roman-numeral or arabic numeral in an imperial titulature line. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Marker

Matched marker phrase including numeral.

Iterations

Number of censorial iterations held.

• Roman dates and titles vary by period, locality, inclusive counting, intercalation, titulature, damaged text, and scholarly reconstruction. Consular and regnal conversions require an authoritative chronological table and explicit uncertainty.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Retain the photograph, squeeze or scan, diplomatic transcription, provenance, dimensions, uncertainty marks, and corpus identifiers with the result. Confirm ambiguous cases against the relevant corpus, Leiden conventions, parallel inscriptions, and specialist judgment.
