Common mistakes

Wrong: MCMLXV111

Is MCMLXV111 the same as MCMLXVIII?

No. MCMLXV111 has the digit 1 where the letter I should be, so it isn't a Roman numeral. The year is MCMLXVIII.

Wrong: MDCCCCLXVIII

Why not MDCCCCLXVIII?

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

Wrong: MCMLXIIX

Why not MCMLXIIX?

Only one smaller symbol can come before a larger one. The standard form is MCMLXVIII.
