    How MMVI is built

    Roman numerals are written one decimal place at a time, largest first.

    1. MMthousands · 2MM is 2 × M (1,000), written out 2 times.
    2. VIones · 6V (5) plus I (1) makes 6.

    2,000 + 6 = 2,006

    No subtraction is needed here: every letter is the same size or smaller than the one before it, so you simply add them up.
