Originally the characters were notches cut into tally (or counting) sticks in the Etruscan (pre-Roman) era. The Romans adopted them for writing on parchment but substituted the letter in their own Roman alphabet which was closest in appearance to the original mark. The C and the M were adopted because they conveniently represented the Latin centum (100) and mille (1000).
