Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCCXXXIX
Why isn't 2939 written as MMDCCCCXXXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 2939 is MMCMXXXIX.
Wrong: MMCMXXXVIIII
Why isn't 2939 written as MMCMXXXVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 2939 is MMCMXXXIX.
Wrong: MMDCCCCXXXVIIII
Why isn't 2939 written as MMDCCCCXXXVIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so DCCCC and VIIII are not used: 900 = CM, 9 = IX. Together they make MMCMXXXIX.
