Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMCCCCXCIII
Why isn't 3493 written as MMMCCCCXCIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 3493 is MMMCDXCIII.
Wrong: MMMCDLXXXXIII
Why isn't 3493 written as MMMCDLXXXXIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 3493 is MMMCDXCIII.
Wrong: MMMCCCCLXXXXIII
Why isn't 3493 written as MMMCCCCLXXXXIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and LXXXX are not used: 400 = CD, 90 = XC. Together they make MMMCDXCIII.
