"MCMXLVI" would be the Medieval Roman Numeral form of "1946", but you can't just stick "VIX" in front of that and have it still mean anything. ("VIX" isn't standard form by itself, either.) If there is punctuation that didn't survive the spelling mangler ... for example "V-IX-MCMXLVI" ... it would mean "5-9-1946".

In classical Roman numerals, position wasn't important and you just summed up all the values, in which case you'd get 2182 (2x1000 + 1x100 + 1x50 + 2x10 + 2x5 + 2x1).
