Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMDCCCCXCIII
Why isn't 3993 written as MMMDCCCCXCIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 3993 is MMMCMXCIII.
Wrong: MMMCMLXXXXIII
Why isn't 3993 written as MMMCMLXXXXIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 3993 is MMMCMXCIII.
Wrong: MMMDCCCCLXXXXIII
Why isn't 3993 written as MMMDCCCCLXXXXIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so DCCCC and LXXXX are not used: 900 = CM, 90 = XC. Together they make MMMCMXCIII.
