Common mistakes
Wrong: MMCCCCLXXXIX
Why isn't 2489 written as MMCCCCLXXXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 2489 is MMCDLXXXIX.
Wrong: MMCDLXXXVIIII
Why isn't 2489 written as MMCDLXXXVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 2489 is MMCDLXXXIX.
Wrong: MMCCCCLXXXVIIII
Why isn't 2489 written as MMCCCCLXXXVIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and VIIII are not used: 400 = CD, 9 = IX. Together they make MMCDLXXXIX.
