Common mistakes
Wrong: CCCXXCVIII
Why isn't 388 written as CCCXXCVIII?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so XXC doesn't work. 80 is LXXX (50 + 30), so 388 is CCCLXXXVIII.
Wrong: CCCLXXXIIX

Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 388 is CCCLXXXVIII.
