Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCMLXXXI
Why isn't 1881 written as MCCMLXXXI?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so CCM doesn't work. 800 is DCCC (500 + 300), so 1881 is MDCCCLXXXI.
Wrong: MDCCCXXCI
Why isn't 1881 written as MDCCCXXCI?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so XXC doesn't work. 80 is LXXX (50 + 30), so 1881 is MDCCCLXXXI.
