An abacus was used by just about every head of a family to keep the family finances. If the paterfamilia were not keen on math a slave or a wife would fill in for him. Professional record keeper, tax collectors, censors an even merchants all used the abacus.

What is the Roman Abacus?

An abacus is a counting device that uses beads on a table or string that represent numbers. The device is divided into columns, each column representing a multiple of 10 (x10, x100, x1000 etc.) and each column has 10 beads in it. This enables numbers to be formed by rearranging the beads, this means that simple and complex arithmetic can be performed on the abacus.
