In today's notation it is: 499 = CMXCIX But the Romans themselves would have probably worked out the equivalent of 499 on an abacus counting device as CCCCLXXXXVIIII and by placing I to both sides of these numerals simplified them to ID (-1+500=499) The rules governing the Roman numeral system were changed in the Middle Ages presumably to make it easier for them to be converted into Hindu-Arabic numerals that were gradually being introduced into Western Europe.
