Content numbering begins at 1 on the first page of chapter 1 or, where it applies, the section opener (“Part One: My Adventures in Siberia”) or second half title page. As far as numbering is concerned, lowercase Roman numerals start at i on the half title page and continue through the whole of the front matter (copyright page, TOC, preface, introduction, etc.). You can find lots of detail (possibly more than you ever want to know) in The Chicago Manual of Style under the general heading of book sections, and if you're designing for print you should have a copy on your bookshelf for reference. For books in English, the conventions are well established.
