Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCCXLVIII
Why isn't 2948 written as MMDCCCCXLVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 2948 is MMCMXLVIII.
Wrong: MMCMXXXXVIII
Why isn't 2948 written as MMCMXXXXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 2948 is MMCMXLVIII.
Wrong: MMDCCCCXXXXVIII
Why isn't 2948 written as MMDCCCCXXXXVIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so DCCCC and XXXX are not used: 900 = CM, 40 = XL. Together they make MMCMXLVIII.
