Common mistakes
Wrong: MCMXLV1
Is MCMXLV1 the same as MCMXLVI?
No. MCMXLV1 has the digit 1 where the letter I should be, so it isn't a Roman numeral. The year is MCMXLVI.
Wrong: MCMXLIV
Is MCMXLIV also 1946?
No. Swapping the last two letters puts the smaller symbol first, so it subtracts: MCMXLIV is 1944.
Wrong: MDCCCCXLVI
Why not MDCCCCXLVI?
A symbol repeats at most three times in a row. The standard form uses subtraction: MCMXLVI.
