How MMX is built
Roman numerals are written one decimal place at a time, largest first.
- MMthousands · 2MM is 2 × M (1,000), written out 2 times.
- Xtens · 1X is 10.
2,000 + 10 = 2,010
No subtraction is needed here: every letter is the same size or smaller than the one before it, so you simply add them up.
Mistakes to avoid
- There's no letter for zero. The zeros are simply left out, which is why 2010 has 2 parts, not 4.
2010 for a tattoo or engraving
- Shortened to two digits ('10), it's X. Many date tattoos use this shorter form.
- MMX has 3 letters, one of the shortest years from 1900 to 2100. It suits small, neat placements.
- 2010 was not a leap year (365 days), and 1 January 2010 was a Friday.
