Common mistakes
Wrong: CCCCXLVIII
Why isn't 448 written as CCCCXLVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 448 is CDXLVIII.
Wrong: CDXXXXVIII
Why isn't 448 written as CDXXXXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 448 is CDXLVIII.
Wrong: CCCCXXXXVIII
Why isn't 448 written as CCCCXXXXVIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and XXXX are not used: 400 = CD, 40 = XL. Together they make CDXLVIII.
