Quick Answer. The Roman numeral XIX is the number 19. X is the number 10, and I is the number one. When a lower number is placed in front of a larger number, it indicates subtraction; IX is the same as 10 minus one, which equals nine. The Ancient Romans used different letters to represent numbers.
However, Roman numerals are not a purely additive number system. In particular, instead of using four symbols to represent a 4, 40, 9, 90, etc. (i.e., IIII, XXXX, VIIII, LXXXX, etc.), such numbers are instead denoted by preceding the symbol for 5, 50, 10, 100, etc., with a symbol indicating subtraction.
