In today's terms 98 expressed in Roman numerals is XCVIII

But the rules governing the Roman numeral system were introduced during the Middle Ages centuries after the decline of the Roman Empire.

Therefore it follows that the Romans themselves would have probably wrote out 98 as LXXXXVIII which can be simplified to IIC in the same way as the Roman numerals IIII and VIIII (4 and 9) are simplified to IV and IX respectively.

In parts of Spain the numerals for VIII (8) are written out as IIX.
