Yes but today's modern way of writing out 999 into Roman numerals is CMXCIX
But the Romans themselves would have probably calculated 999 on a abacus counting device as DCCCCLXXXXVIIII and by adding I to the right hand side and subtracting I from the left hand side of these numerals simply wrote it out as IM (-1+1000 = 999)
The rules governing today's Roman numeral system were made up during the Middle Ages but that was centuries after the decline of the Roman Empire.

The number is 99 trillion 999 billion 999 million 999 thousand 999
In accordance with the rules governing the Roman numeral system made up during the Middle Ages and centuries after the Romans had quit England, 999 in Roman numerals is today reckoned to be CMXCIX and half of this would work out as CDXCIXS (499.5) But in all reality the Romans themselves would have most probably wrote out 999 simply as IM and half of this work's out as SD (-0.5+500 = 499.5) Note that the Roman numeral for a 1/2 looks like the letter S and its Latin name is 'semis' which means a half.
The Roman numeral IM means -1+1000 = 999
999 is IM Roman numerals = 1000-1
I think it is IXIXIX. I checked the Internet and that what I got but hey it might be wrong.Improved Answer:-In accordance with today's rules governing the Roman numerals 999 converted into Roman numerals works out as CMXCIX.But during the Roman era the Romans themselves would have calculated the equivalent of 999 on an abacus counting device as DCCCCLXXXXVIIII and probably simplified it to IM (-1+1000 = 999) in written form.
Cmxcix + dclxvi = mdclxvImproved answer in detail:-999 in Roman numerals: CM+XC+IX = IM666 in Roman numerals: DC+LX+VI = DCLXVI999+666 = IM+DCLXVI = MDCLXVNote that the Romans would have probably total up CM+XC+IX in the following manner:-CM+XC = XMXM+IX = IMMAnd that they would have probably total up DC+LX+VI in the following manner:-DC+LX = DCLXDCLX+VI = DCLXVITherefore it follows that:- IM+DCLXVI = MDCLXV (1665)Roman numerals:- M+1000, D=500, C=100, L=50, X=10, V=5 and I=1
Notwithstanding todays modern conversion of 999 into Roman numerals which is now considered to be CMXCIX inasmuch that the ancient Romans would have probably added together the equivalent of 777 and 999 in either of the following formats:- Abridged format: DCCLXXVII+IM = MDCCLXXVI => 777+(1000-1) = 1776 Elongated format: DCCLXXVII+DCCCCLXXXXVIIII = MDCCLXXVI => 777+999 = 1776 QED
