Common mistakes
Wrong: MCMXV1
Is MCMXV1 the same as MCMXVI?
No. MCMXV1 has the digit 1 where the letter I should be, so it isn't a Roman numeral. The year is MCMXVI.
Wrong: MCMXIV
Is MCMXIV also 1916?
No. Swapping the last two letters puts the smaller symbol first, so it subtracts: MCMXIV is 1914.
Wrong: MDCCCCXVI
Why not MDCCCCXVI?
A symbol repeats at most three times in a row. The standard form uses subtraction: MCMXVI.
