Common mistakes

Wrong: MCMLV11

Is MCMLV11 the same as MCMLVII?

No. MCMLV11 has the digit 1 where the letter I should be, so it isn't a Roman numeral. The year is MCMLVII.

Wrong: MDCCCCLVII

Why not MDCCCCLVII?

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