CXIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: C (100) + X (10) + IX (9) = 119.

IX is the only subtraction: the I before the X takes away 1, so IX = 9.

Common mistakes

Wrong: CXVIIII

Why isn't 119 written as CXVIIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 119 is CXIX.
