First make custom numbering style and set numbers to be lower numerals.

Make new paragraph style that you will use on pages where you have roman 
numerals as page numbers. You can base that custom style on the style 
you're currently using.

When making new paragraph style, in tab Outline and numbering choose 
numbering style you've made from a drop down in field Numbering style.

Use that paragraph style on pages with roman numerals.

When inserting table of contents, check Additional styles from a dialog 
window. Click Add styles. Move your custom style to level one. Click OK.

If you set everything as said here - you'll get desired results. Just 
remember, your newly created style will just look like Heading 1, but 
will actually be at text body level. That's a trade-off. If you set 
custom style to level one in Tools → Outline and numbering, you won't be 
able to use Heading 1.

It's not that complicated, just need to understand how the whole system 
work.

There's more to it, more could be done, but this should suffice. More 
explaining equals more complexity and more chance to get/do something wrong.
