Common mistakes
Wrong: MMCCCCXCVIII
Why isn't 2498 written as MMCCCCXCVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 2498 is MMCDXCVIII.
Wrong: MMCDLXXXXVIII
Why isn't 2498 written as MMCDLXXXXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 2498 is MMCDXCVIII.
Wrong: MMCCCCLXXXXVIII

No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and LXXXX are not used: 400 = CD, 90 = XC. Together they make MMCDXCVIII.
