Under today's modern rules governing the Roman numeral system introduced during the Middle Ages and centuries after the Romans had retreated from England, 19 in Roman numerals are considered to be XIX.

But in the ruins of the Coliseum in Rome there is evidence that still exist today that 19 converted into Roman numerals are XVIIII and the Romans themselves would have probably simplified them to IXX (-1+20=19) in written form, in fact the Latin word for 19 literally means one from twenty.
