Common mistakes
Wrong: MCMXCV1
Is MCMXCV1 the same as MCMXCVI?
No. MCMXCV1 has the digit 1 where the letter I should be, so it isn't a Roman numeral. The year is MCMXCVI.
Wrong: MCMXCIV
Is MCMXCIV also 1996?
No. Swapping the last two letters puts the smaller symbol first, so it subtracts: MCMXCIV is 1994.
Wrong: MDCCCCXCVI
Why not MDCCCCXCVI?
A symbol repeats at most three times in a row. The standard form uses subtraction: MCMXCVI.
