Not really, they are entirely different systems for writing numbers.

We are used to seeing Roman Numerals starting at the left with large values and going to the right with small values (similar to Hindu/Arabic) but this is just an "accident" that the Roman Numerals were usually copied off an abacus or sand board left to right. The letters could actually be scrambled in any order and the number was still the same. The romans would have read both "VI" and "IV" as the number 6 (the use of "IV" as the number 4 was a shorthand modification by monks in the middle ages, long after the Roman Empire was gone).
