This isn’t sufficiently enterprisey for Java. There should be a Roman numeral factory followed by relevant fromString and toInteger methods.

Ugh. Literally refactored multiple factories into straightforward functions in the most recent sprint where I work.

Someone saw a public factory method which was a factory for a reason and just cargo culted multiple private methods using the same pattern.
