LXXIXI is not a Roman numeral. the individual symbols are all Roman numerals but the order makes no sense. It is open to misinterpretation. LXX represents 70 and LXXI represents 71. However things get compicated because IX = 9 but XI = 11 so essentially you have a series of numerals which could represent 71 + 11 = 82, or it could represent 70 + 9 + 1 = 80. The symbol for 1 (I) would never preceed and follow an X inthe same numeral. The correct Roman numeral for 80 should be LXXX and 82 should be LXXXII neither of which are prone to any confusion.
