MMCMLXIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CM (900) + LX (60) + IX (9) = 2969.
CM and IX are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCCLXIX
Why isn't 2969 written as MMDCCCCLXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 2969 is MMCMLXIX.
Wrong: MMCMLXVIIII
Why isn't 2969 written as MMCMLXVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 2969 is MMCMLXIX.
Wrong: MMDCCCCLXVIIII
Why isn't 2969 written as MMDCCCCLXVIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so DCCCC and VIIII are not used: 900 = CM, 9 = IX. Together they make MMCMLXIX.
