Common mistakes

Wrong: MCMXX1

Is MCMXX1 the same as MCMXXI?

No. MCMXX1 has the digit 1 where the letter I should be, so it isn't a Roman numeral. The year is MCMXXI.

Wrong: MCMXIX

Is MCMXIX also 1921?

No. Swapping the last two letters puts the smaller symbol first, so it subtracts: MCMXIX is 1919.

Wrong: MDCCCCXXI

Why not MDCCCCXXI?

A symbol repeats at most three times in a row. The standard form uses subtraction: MCMXXI.
