Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMCCCCLXXIX
Why isn't 3479 written as MMMCCCCLXXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 3479 is MMMCDLXXIX.
Wrong: MMMCDLXXVIIII
Why isn't 3479 written as MMMCDLXXVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 3479 is MMMCDLXXIX.
Wrong: MMMCCCCLXXVIIII
Why isn't 3479 written as MMMCCCCLXXVIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and VIIII are not used: 400 = CD, 9 = IX. Together they make MMMCDLXXIX.
