COMMENTS
A subset of this is A078715, palindromic Roman numerals. These are not "old style" Roman numerals (where 4 = IIII).
The sequence contains only values less than 4000, see A078715 for a discussion of the Roman 4M-problem.

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1 because Roman(1) = I and Reversal(I) = I, which is Roman.
a(4) = 4 because Roman(4) = IV and Reversal(IV) = VI, which is Roman.
a(10) = 19 because Roman(19) = XIX which is a palindromic Roman numeral.
a(27) = 900 because Roman(900) = CM and Reversal(CM) = MC, which is Roman.
40 == XL -> LX == 60, therefore 40 and 60 are terms.
1999 is not in the sequence because "MIM" is not a well-formed Roman numeral for 1999, although it looks like one; see Schildberger.
