Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCXXCVIII
Why isn't 788 written as DCCXXCVIII?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so XXC doesn't work. 80 is LXXX (50 + 30), so 788 is DCCLXXXVIII.
Wrong: DCCLXXXIIX

Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 788 is DCCLXXXVIII.
