This is not a real roman numeral if that's what you were thinking. You can subtract 1 from 10 but not from 20 or 30 etc. IXXX will link you to porn sites.

VIII-IXXX-MMVIIImproved Answer:-In today's terms: VIII-XXIX-MMVII
In todays usage of Roman numerals it is: III-XXIX-MMI But note that the ancient Romans would have worked out the equivalent of 29 as XXVIIII and then abridged them to IXXX thus using less numerals yet retaining their original values.
XXIX VI MMVI XXVIIII-VI-MMVI or IXXX-VI-MMVI. Note that 29 in Roman numerals is not XXIX as you might have been told or read.
Under today's modern rules governing the Roman numeral system 29 is XXIX. However, the Romans themselves wrote out 29 in the form of XXVIIII as can be seen today in the ruins of the Coliseum in Rome and these numerals can be simplified to IXXX (-1+30=29) indeed the Latin word for 29 is 'undetriginta' which literally means one from thirty.
cAdditional Information:-Under today's rules we would convert 19 and 29 into Roman numerals as XIX and XXIX which makes any form of interaction between other numerals quite difficult.But there is evidence to suggest that the Romans themselves would have actually worked out the equivalent of 19 and 29 as XVIIII and XXVIIII then simplified them to IXX and IXXX which uses less numerals but of equal value thus making addition quicker and simpler as follows:-IXX+IXXX = IIL (20-1)+(30-1) = (50-2)IIL+LII = C (50-2)+52 = 100Alternatively:-XVIIII+XXVIIII = XXXXVIII (19+29 = 48)XXXXVIII+LII = C (48+52 = 100)Roman numerals: M=1000, D=500, C=100, L=50, X=10, V=5 and I=1Remember that: 5*I=V, 2*V=X, 5*X=L, 2*L=C, 5*C=D and 2*D=MQuod Erat Demonstrandum
