Something like “VII + i” would be unambiguously complex.
Unless, wait, are we taking “VIIi” to mean ‘7 + i’ because that’s how Roman numerals treat concatenation? If so, how would we represent other purely imaginary values? Just lowercase Roman numerals (e.g. “iv” for ‘4i’)?
Those “complex” Romans are all imaginary.

…I may have gotten a bit nerd-sniped there.
