Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMCCMXXXVIII
Why isn't 3838 written as MMMCCMXXXVIII?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so CCM doesn't work. 800 is DCCC (500 + 300), so 3838 is MMMDCCCXXXVIII.
Wrong: MMMDCCCXXXIIX
Why isn't 3838 written as MMMDCCCXXXIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 3838 is MMMDCCCXXXVIII.
