Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCCXCVI
Why isn't 2996 written as MMDCCCCXCVI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 2996 is MMCMXCVI.
Wrong: MMCMLXXXXVI
Why isn't 2996 written as MMCMLXXXXVI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 2996 is MMCMXCVI.
Wrong: MMDCCCCLXXXXVI
Why isn't 2996 written as MMDCCCCLXXXXVI?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so DCCCC and LXXXX are not used: 900 = CM, 90 = XC. Together they make MMCMXCVI.
