- I think you don't use "in" with "Romae". I think that "Romae" translates to "in Rome".
- As Moopish pointed out, you also don't seem to need "non" with "num". "Num" seems to include the "not".

”Corinna num habitat Romae” - why is this wrong?
People keep stressing that word order is so flexible in Latin. I simply mirrored the English word order.

It looks like ”num” is inflexible and has to start the sentence... the rest of the words are flexible as to their order.
