754 BCE, the date of the foundation of Rome was when roman numerals were officially recognized as a numeric system.

Just like we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... the Romans needed their own counting system. Back then, there was not a wide-spread system for counting, and there were several different styles. It was their way of counting.
