Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMDCCCCLIV
Why isn't 3954 written as MMMDCCCCLIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 3954 is MMMCMLIV.
Wrong: MMMCMLIIII
Why isn't 3954 written as MMMCMLIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 3954 is MMMCMLIV.
Wrong: MMMDCCCCLIIII
Why isn't 3954 written as MMMDCCCCLIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so DCCCC and IIII are not used: 900 = CM, 4 = IV. Together they make MMMCMLIV.
