Write 348 as CCCXLVIII, combining C + C + C + XL + V + I + I + I. Start from the largest value that fits and work down until nothing is left over.
Why is 348 not written CCCXXXXVIII?
CCCXLVIII uses the subtractive rule: a smaller symbol placed before a larger one is taken away, so you never repeat a symbol four times. CCCXXXXVIII breaks that rule, which is why CCCXLVIII is the only correct form.
