The year the U.S was established 1776

Improved Answer:

In today's terms the year 1999 expressed in Roman numerals is MCMXCIX.

But the Romans themselves would have probably calculated the number 1999 on a abacus counting device as MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII and by adding I to the right hand side and subtracting I from the left hand side of these numerals simply wrote it out as IMM (-1+2000 = 1999)

The confusion about how to write out Roman numerals stems from the fact that the rules governing the Roman numeral system were introduced during the Middle Ages and that was centuries after the decline of the Roman Empire.
