FWIW, I would instead suggest Roman.from(), where the function could
handle either, such as:
def from(self, some_roman):
     try:
          self.__intval = int(some_roman)
     except ValueError:
          self.__intval = self.__stringToRoman(some_roman)
     return

So who's doing the prototype implementation? :)
