die XXII Marcius annum MDCCCLXXXIV. However, Marcius in the Roman calendar was the FIRST month. That is a straightforward running of the letters representing the numerals 1,000 (M), plus 500 (D), plus 3x100 (C), plus 50 (L), plus 3x10 (X), plus one-from-five (IV=4). However, the 1,900 part should also be shortened as is the IV representing 4 (instead of IIII). Instead of MDCCC, it should be written MCM (1,000 plus 100-from-1,000). So 1984 would be MCMLXXXIV. You will see the MCM used in copyright dates at the end of motion pictures from the 1900s.
