The Roman numeral in the parentheses is the valence or oxidation of the metal that it follows. Transition elements have more than one oxidation number
For the transition metals, the roman numeral designates the valence number of the metal in the ionic bond. For example CuSO4 is Copper (II) Sulfate, because the copper has a valence of +2 in this bond.
The Roman numeral tells you the number of electrons a polyvalent cation (usually a transition metal) gives up to participate in the ionic bond. Example: "Iron (III) oxide" means the iron is giving up 3 electrons to form the compound Fe2O3.
Roman numeral is used to mark valence. If an atom, or metal atom has only one valence, you can spare writing it
Roman numeral placed in parentheses after the name of the transition metal.

Roman numerals in transition metal names indicate the oxidation state of the metal ion. This is important because transition metals can exist in multiple oxidation states, so the Roman numeral helps to specify which one is present in the compound.
Roman Numeral
Because transition metals can assume more than one charge, the transition metal ion is named by using a Roman numeral
A roman numeral in parentheses follows the name of the metal... apex

Roman Numeral
For the transition metals, the roman numeral designates the valence number of the metal in the ionic bond. For example CuSO4 is Copper (II) Sulfate, because the copper has a valence of +2 in this bond.
Roman numerals are used: I, II, III.
The oxidation state of a transition metal in a compound is indicated by a Roman numeral in parentheses after the metal's name. For example, in FeCl3, iron is in the +3 oxidation state, so the compound is named iron(III) chloride. The Roman numeral helps identify the charge on the transition metal ion.
The subscript of the second ion identifies the oxidation state of the transition metal
