Common mistakes

Wrong: MMMCCMLXVIII

Why isn't 3868 written as MMMCCMLXVIII?

Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so CCM doesn't work. 800 is DCCC (500 + 300), so 3868 is MMMDCCCLXVIII.

Wrong: MMMDCCCLXIIX

Why isn't 3868 written as MMMDCCCLXIIX?

Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 3868 is MMMDCCCLXVIII.
