Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMDCCCCLXIX
Why isn't 3969 written as MMMDCCCCLXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 3969 is MMMCMLXIX.
Wrong: MMMCMLXVIIII
Why isn't 3969 written as MMMCMLXVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 3969 is MMMCMLXIX.
Wrong: MMMDCCCCLXVIIII
Why isn't 3969 written as MMMDCCCCLXVIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so DCCCC and VIIII are not used: 900 = CM, 9 = IX. Together they make MMMCMLXIX.
