| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|

CD and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCCCLIV
Why isn't 454 written as CCCCLIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 454 is CDLIV.
Wrong: CDLIIII
Why isn't 454 written as CDLIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 454 is CDLIV.
Wrong: CCCCLIIII
Why isn't 454 written as CCCCLIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and IIII are not used: 400 = CD, 4 = IV. Together they make CDLIV.
