Common mistakes
Wrong: MCMXL1X
Is MCMXL1X the same as MCMXLIX?
No. MCMXL1X has the digit 1 where the letter I should be, so it isn't a Roman numeral. The year is MCMXLIX.
Wrong: MCMIL
Why not MCMIL?
It subtracts across places, which isn't allowed: only I, X and C subtract, and only from the next two symbols up. Write each place on its own: MCMXLIX.
Wrong: MDCCCCXLIX
Why not MDCCCCXLIX?
A symbol repeats at most three times in a row. The standard form uses subtraction: MCMXLIX.
