Total3059MMMLIX

MMMLIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + L (50) + IX (9) = 3059.

IX is the only subtraction: the I before the X takes away 1, so IX = 9.

Common mistakes

Wrong: MMMLVIIII

Why isn't 3059 written as MMMLVIIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 3059 is MMMLIX.
