In ancient Rome the equivalent of 8 was IIX thus using less numerals or VIII in the same way that 9 was IX or VIIII.
But in the Middle Ages the rules governing the Roman numeral system were changed to how we still use them today as for example we would convert 1999 into Roman numerals as MCMXCIX but the Romans probably wrote it out simply as IMM (2000-1)
