Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCCXLIV
Why isn't 2944 written as MMDCCCCXLIV?

Wrong: MMCMXXXXIV
Why isn't 2944 written as MMCMXXXXIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 2944 is MMCMXLIV.
Wrong: MMCMXLIIII
Why isn't 2944 written as MMCMXLIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 2944 is MMCMXLIV.
