Common mistakes
Wrong: MCMLX1
Is MCMLX1 the same as MCMLXI?
No. MCMLX1 has the digit 1 where the letter I should be, so it isn't a Roman numeral. The year is MCMLXI.
Wrong: MCMLIX
Is MCMLIX also 1961?
No. Swapping the last two letters puts the smaller symbol first, so it subtracts: MCMLIX is 1959.
Wrong: MDCCCCLXI
Why not MDCCCCLXI?
A symbol repeats at most three times in a row. The standard form uses subtraction: MCMLXI.
