Common mistakes

Wrong: MCMLXX1

Is MCMLXX1 the same as MCMLXXI?

No. MCMLXX1 has the digit 1 where the letter I should be, so it isn't a Roman numeral. The year is MCMLXXI.

Wrong: MCMLXIX

Is MCMLXIX also 1971?

No. Swapping the last two letters puts the smaller symbol first, so it subtracts: MCMLXIX is 1969.

Wrong: MDCCCCLXXI

Why not MDCCCCLXXI?

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