Common mistakes
Wrong: MMCCCCXCIII
Why isn't 2493 written as MMCCCCXCIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 2493 is MMCDXCIII.
Wrong: MMCDLXXXXIII
Why isn't 2493 written as MMCDLXXXXIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 2493 is MMCDXCIII.
Wrong: MMCCCCLXXXXIII
Why isn't 2493 written as MMCCCCLXXXXIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and LXXXX are not used: 400 = CD, 90 = XC. Together they make MMCDXCIII.
