Is the roman numeral system a place value system?
No, the Roman numeral system is not a place value system. In the Roman numeral system, each individual symbol represents a specific value, and there is no concept of place value. Place value systems, such as the decimal system, rely on the position of digits within a number to determine their value.
What are the differences between your number system and the roman number system?
A nought figure is not needed in the Roman numeral system because the positional place value of these numerals are self evident. A nought figure is needed in the Arabic numeral system (the numbers we use today) to identify the positional place value of these numerals.

Why there is no number 0 in roman numbers?
The number system that we use today is the Hindu-Arabic numeral system and a 0 number is essential for positional place value purposes as for example it shows us that there is a difference between 27 and 207 but a 0 number is not needed in the Roman numeral system because the positional place value of its numerals are self evident as for example XXVII is 27 and CCVII is 207
