Common mistakes
Wrong: CCCCXXXIX
Why isn't 439 written as CCCCXXXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 439 is CDXXXIX.
Wrong: CDXXXVIIII
Why isn't 439 written as CDXXXVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 439 is CDXXXIX.
Wrong: CCCCXXXVIIII
Why isn't 439 written as CCCCXXXVIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and VIIII are not used: 400 = CD, 9 = IX. Together they make CDXXXIX.
