There is some controversy concerning what is written on the popes Miter, however according to many; Vicarius Filii Dei is written on his miter. Vicarius Filii Dei means: The representative of the Son of God.

Sadly the controversy is caused by the fact that this story (possibly invented by the Seventh Day Adventists tho used by many extremist Protestant groups) is utterly untrue.

The phrase is supposed to have been written on (an unspecified) papal tiara (not mitre); sadly for conspiracy theorists there is no writing on any of the papal tiaras (they are all still extant). The "evidence" is supposed to be contained in an early photograph of a papal corronation; the photograph exists but its quality is such that it would be impossible to read any engraving on the tiara (even if it existed).

Sadly despite the facts in the matter it will not stop this story from being trotted out as fact by people like Jack Chick.

What is the meaning of the Roman numeral after the names of popes?

In most cases it serves to indicate the number of popes who have taken that name. Benedict XVI means that there were 15 popes prior to the present one who have taken the name Benedict. Given the long history of the church and the vagaries of human history (to say nothing of the controversial anti-popes) the numbers are not always accurate. If I am not mistaken, the popes named John have not been accurately counted. There may be others. But there is really no significance beyond that; it's just a way to tell them apart.
