Common mistakes

Wrong: MMCCCCXLVIII

Why isn't 2448 written as MMCCCCXLVIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 2448 is MMCDXLVIII.

Wrong: MMCDXXXXVIII

Why isn't 2448 written as MMCDXXXXVIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 2448 is MMCDXLVIII.

Wrong: MMCCCCXXXXVIII

Why isn't 2448 written as MMCCCCXXXXVIII?

No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and XXXX are not used: 400 = CD, 40 = XL. Together they make MMCDXLVIII.
