The number 3,999 is the cut off number for traditional Roman Numerals. It's considered an incorrect form to repeat a numeral more than three times. So MMMM, which would be 4000, is not appropriate and is incorrect. When we deal with numerals over 3,999 we begin to utilize parentheses. In Roman Numerals, parentheses denotes multiplication of the number inside them by 1000. So 4,000 would be denoted as (IV) which is 4 x 1000.

In traditional paper writing we'd replace the parentheses with a line over top of the numeral.
